Am I a writer?

Posted in Fibromyalgia Information. on Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by Sarakastic

Usually when people ask me what I do, I say that I’m a blogger. Most people don’t know what it is. Then they ask “Ok so you are a writer?” I am quick to correct them. For some reason it just seems like I would be intruding on sacred ground. Like I haven’t been inducted into some special writers club.

When people find out about fibromyalgia they usually say I should be a writer because I could work from home. So I decided that my experiment this month is going to find out if I could actually write. I’m not going to worry about publishing. I understand that’s extremely difficult. This month is just going to be about whether I like to write & see if I can do it, at least as a hobby. That means that I’ll have to make time to write & worry about carpets & steam cleaners later. I know that there are a group of people who write novels every November, but I can never participate because I’m always sick in winter. So, this month I’m going to give it a try. I’m not going to say that I’ll write an entire novel, but I’ll see what I can & can’t do & hwo fibromyalgia effects it.

    I too am an inhabitant of the sacred world of writing and the sarcastic world of FM. Let me just say that you have a wonderful style - or voice - in your writing, and that is the most important thing.

    For me writing is a painful passion. It is one of the hardest things I do everyday (yes harder than bending over to pick up the …. that I inevitably drop, harder than blow-drying my hair after my shower, harder than sweeping up after my four furry companions).

    If you can keep YOUR voice even in the foggiest of fogs, you will be a great writer.

    Good Luck!
