Trying to have fun, but I don't know how.
When I was a kid I didn't have that much fun either.
Kid's are supposed to have fun and then you put away your childish things, but to tell the truth I didn't have that many childish things to put away.
I guess smiling with my wife is the best thing I've got going for me in the fun area. It's no wild disco, but I like it.
Writing stories is fun, sending them out is okay, but that's more business.
I don't know if anyone reads them or doesn't, but the process of making them available--well, I wouldn't say it's much fun, but it's valuable.
If I was an actor I'd get applause. I could gauge how well I'm doing by how much applause I got.
A writer doesn't have that. You kind of just hope.
Not trying to be negative here, just trying to figure out how to have fun.
So writing is fun, getting readers has the potential to be fun, if I'm getting them, which I have no way of knowing. At least I'm getting published sometimes. You figure someone's got to be looking at my stuff at some point.
I guess I won't really know if anyone's reading my work until I get a book of my own. If it sells, I'll have some idea.
Of course, people buy books, but don't open them...
Fan mail?
I've had a few nice comments over the years in comment sections.
My wife's made nice comment's, but she's my wife.
So I started out trying to think of how to have fun. Now I'm worried about my author career, which isn't fun at all.
How to have fun, how to have fun, how to have fun...
