Solitary man

Writing is a solitary exercise. As much as you might want it to be otherwise, it cannot be a group project. You can talk to other people about what you are writing, how it is going, or whatever else and they will never quite understand.

That's because it is all going on inside your head and only one person at a time fits inside of your head.

Well, at least you hope there is only one.

This can also be frustrating though, both for you and for those who genuinely care about your work. About all I can ever say is, "going OK," or "having trouble."

Other than what I write here, of course, but this is mostly just me talking to myself.

Yours in rejection,

Phil

  1. You know you are not just talking to yourself and never will as long as you allow access. Your thoughts are educational.
