Time To Go To Work!

 

Sadly, the title is true. By the time this runs off to the grind I will be going. Isn't work fun? I guess that means that I easily fit the question this time. Or maybe not. Should I try the question on before answering? Am I able to send it back without penalty? Do you offer free shipping? Hmmm...I went a little off the rails with that, even though I'm not on rails to begin with, but whatever. I'm at work. What do I care? I may go over some rails. Or just take a leak down some old ones. What? Don't judge. That's too much work. Then you'd be a working one too. Working what? On with it before you get confused. Too late? Oh well. I'm at work.

When you think of the term working writer, what does that look like to you? What do you think it is supposed to look like? Do you see yourself as a working writer or aspiring or hobbyist, and if latter two, what does that look like?

It looks like ummm nothing at all. I see nothing as I'm at work. No computer. No writing. So it is work and it is writing. They don't go together. How rude is that? Working writer and food stamps could go together rather easily though. I think I'll stick with the 9-5 and avoid the food stamps for now. At least until I'm soon forced back into "retirement" by technology. Then maybe the two can go together for a while I suppose.

I know a few who do make a go of it, but they are really working just like any other job. There is no magic bullet or anything. You work and work some more. Some even admitted they lost the fun of it. So I think I'll skip the working writer unless I'm guaranteed a million bucks. I can be bought. Fun or not.

Are you a working writer? What does the term mean to you? What pops into your head first when you read working writer? Are you at work too? Do you have a computer at work?

Enjoy life, forget the strife.
