June 7 question - If you ever did stop writing, what would you replace it with?
If I ever stopped writing, I would replace it with a hole in my heart, a void of darkness, or a grief-stricken, brokenhearted, life of insanity.
NOT writing would be NOT good for me. Writing is my life, my passion, my motivation.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about words. Words fill my head from my own stories or from the books I'm reading. I get equally excited about sitting down to both forms of entertainment. Remember, the more you read, the better you write.
(Says the former librarian!) So, don't stop writing, or reading.
How about you? What would you be doing if you weren't writing?
Then obviously you can't stop.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd only stop writing once I've written all I've wanted. I think I wouldn't have a hole in me then.
ReplyDeleteI don't see quitting in your stars, my dear ;-) But the optional question gave me pause as well. Write on!
ReplyDeleteLove this affirmation of writing! Absolutely agree. Writing gives me an anchor AND a jumping off place to explore -- really anything I like. It's fun, challenging, rewarding, and what I do every day. Kudos to you! Keep writing.
ReplyDeleteIt's great advice to keep reading and writing. And it's great that you know so strongly how important writing is to you.
ReplyDeleteYou're a librarian - reading and writing IS your life!
ReplyDeleteI agree that reading more helps you to write better. I haven't been writing for a while, but I also haven't been reading much, so I'd say the two are related!
ReplyDeleteIt apparently holds a very important spot in your life. It's good that this was only a what if type question.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. I am relearning the thrill of both, writing and reading but the two becoming a passion once again.
