This song captures how useless it is for me to continue to write. I pour my heart out and either I'm ignored or rejected. I'm 48, a wash-up and tired. So how appropriate that I found my feelings best expressed by someone else (The Magnetic Fields, From a Sinking Boat) than myself, since I apparently suck as a writer.
A humorous look at one woman's spiritual journey through the absurdity of life and internet links, but now mostly about Peter Gabriel and Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. By the author of "Not the New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."

I Give Up Writing
This song captures how useless it is for me to continue to write. I pour my heart out and either I'm ignored or rejected. I'm 48, a wash-up and tired. So how appropriate that I found my feelings best expressed by someone else (The Magnetic Fields, From a Sinking Boat) than myself, since I apparently suck as a writer.

Don't give up writing!!! Just take a break from it to recharge. Go out to a theme park, see an animated film, go to a tearoom and wear a funny hat, visit Snowdonia, go to Mousehole, Canterbury, or Glastonbury and laugh at the Pay-guns you use to be (& I still am). Pee in a crop circle! Do whatever it takes to snap out of the doldrums. (& if you're in the States just do the American version of all of the above) DO IT NOW.
Hope that helps.
Take Care,

I hope that you finally change your mind !
If writing is something that makes you happy, don't give up.
Sure, EVERYBODY can't love your texts. But I'm sure there are some who do !
(I'm just discovering your blog so I haven't read yet your work. But I will :) )
And the most important thing is that YOU like what you do. No matter what you think that people thinks !
Have a nice day !

Thank you both for taking the time to write such encouraging words. Right now with my Mom's health being so poor, I don't have the time to write anymore, beyond some Amazon reviews or Goodreads book reviews. I don't know why I like writing book reviews so much -- I just do. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to writing --- someday.
