Isn't writing fun?

No, it isn't. It's a damnably infuriating pastime. Stamp collecting! Now there's a real hobby. Or crochet, or decoupage. Writing ... nah.Reading's okay, and I can't wait for your new offering!

Writing sucks. The end result often doesn't but getting there is a chore and/or challenge.

So I am the only one who enjoys writing?I do find I get frustrated with all the real happenings that interfere with my writing, but the writing itself is challenging and rewarding. But I do wish it was a little easier and that I had paid more attention to the English teacher instead of studying my fellow students' groins.

I enjoy writing. At least, when I'm not actually writing, I enjoy writing. If you know what I mean. When I'm sat staring blankly at the screen I don't always enjoy it quite so much. In fact it can be agony. Certainly the way real life can get in the way and interrupt the writing process is a real bummer sometimes. And the way I start a new story and ten pages in I flounder and it gets put on the shelf for months, nagging at me from there, until I return to it and try to pick up the strands again. And somehow it's always more difficult completing it...

All art is both the most fantastical, wonderful thing AND the most infuriating and annoying. A sort of bi-polar pastime, really. ;)

Well said Camy
