Why is...I've often asked myself that same question. Why isn't it enough to just write? Why do we want the publication part? You know, for me, I think it might be because--before publication--when someone asked me what I did (for an occupation, living, etc.) and I answered, "I write", the inevitable question was always, "Oh. Are you published?" Like I wasn't "real" or a bonafide writer until I reached that "genuine" level called publication. Now that I am published--and I thank God I am--I enjoy hearing back from readers how much they enjoyed the story. That's icing on the cake...:)<BR/><BR/>MMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-76641530734472627272008-06-06T14:42:00.000-04:002008-06-06T14:42:00.000-04:00For me the desire for publication is linked to the...For me the desire for publication is linked to the desire for communication.<BR/><BR/>It's not enough to talk to myself. *smile* I want to share with others.

Called by God? Probably not me, but called by God not to waste my years of freedom doing nothing? Watching TV all day? Meeting friends for lunch? Stop learning because I no longer need to work to put food on the table and children through school? Yes, to all that. My friends and acquaintnaces don't seem to understand, but they seem to envy. Month ago, in an issue of Romance Writers Magazine, an author said she had been rejected 48 times over a period of twenty years--something like that, so she quit. So, she thought. She couldn't she was so compelled to put words on a page, so to be happy, she had to take it up again. Finally, she was published! By then, she said she really didn't care that much--she just needed to write.Go figure.

It's a way of fulfilling not only their dream to see their work in print, but to be used as an instrument through which God works.<BR/><BR/>That's my take, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592240343467905804.post-51537484876908403512008-06-04T13:35:00.000-04:002008-06-04T13:35:00.000-04:00I like the way you write.
