Writing is play, and other great reasons to make this your life
I’ve linked to a lot of segments of best-selling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s Freelancer’s Survival Guide, and I hope you’ve been following along. This week’s installment is the final one, and I love, love, love it. Kris expresses so much of my own feelings and those of my writer pals’. We do what we do because we love it, it’s fun, it’s challenging, and perhaps we’re control freaks who only feel best when we can at least pretend we control our destiny.
So read it, consider it, and if you’re still wondering whether you should pursue the life of a writer, then maybe this is your final push.
Oh, and before you quit your day job, be sure to read Kris’s segments on that, here and here. It’s good to leap, but it’s even better to be smart about it.
Enjoy!
