The Glamorous Life
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I wonder how many people train for and dream about being a writer? I suspect that there are a lot more out there that wanted to be…than are writers now. Though…there are some of us that are living some of that dream by at least blogging. Somebody reads me, now and again, and that’s a good thing.
Of course, when you’re a kid, being a writer sounds like a heck of a deal. Work when you want to (HAH!), reach millions of people (HAH!), and be rich. I’m not even going to grace that last with the huge HAH it deserves. There are some rich writers, but they are few and far between. Most of us (and I’m being generous in including me in “us”) bumble along, writing what, when we are writing it, seems to be deathless and inspiring prose….only to be kinda… sigh.
So, what do writers really do? Well, they write. They write whatever they can and for whomever will read it. They take jobs writing things like apidexin reviews, which, while useful…aren’t glamorous. I do think though, that writing something that people will read, and get information from is probably the hardest thing a person can do. We’ve all suffered through some pretty badly written instructions that took at least 7 hours away from our lives, trying to put together something that had promised to be done in about 15 minutes.
The last thing I put together that involved instructions was a computer desk for my mom. None of the “men” of the family, having, perhaps too much experience in that sort of thing, would even touch the task. So, I did it.
I have, since then, prayed for forgiveness for some of the curses I wished upon whomever it was that wrote the instructions for that thing. After a while, I had better luck looking at what it was supposed to look like and just putting it together. I only had a couple of screws left over, and it’s still standing, so I guess I didn’t do too bad a job of it.
Which reminds me, there are a couple of sets of shelves I bought a while back that I’ve not put together yet.
Perhaps I should pray for forgiveness …. starting now?
