You don’t write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you’re really doing it, that’s all you’re doing: writing.
Frank Herbert, “When I Was Writing Dune”

- Sleep
- Drink coffee
- Write
- Read.

List five things you do for fun.
- Write (duh). I mean, this is obvious, right? (why does WP have an AI function now? I blog. Why would I want NOT to blog? Or use AI to blog? I don’t get it)
- Read (duh). OK, read sci-fi and fantasy. And history. Especially ancient history.
- Cook (seriously — I started doing this when I had to be separated from my family in 2018 and I found that it helps me calm down, eat healthier, and actually enjoy experimenting a little bit)
- Play guitar (need more time for this — I find it more enjoyable to play bass but playing my faux-Gibson is more enjoyable bc I can actually play a whole tune lol)
- Go on long, long walks by myself around the hills and mountains near my house so that I don’t feel so guilty about the Irish coffee waiting for me when I get back…

Why do you blog?
Because I must.
If you ever ask a writer why they write…why they *must* write…there is only ever one answer.

No other answer is required.
And if you do not understand, you should not ask.
