I don't think I could even tell myself in any concrete way what specifically I am trying to do. <br />But all of the theory and ephemera around the writing of a story, that is somehow infinitely interesting to me (perhaps because it changes, and because there are not hard and fast rules).Carrie Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919664513529675842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738438200691909636.post-50282606767487680712010-07-16T12:10:42.676-04:002010-07-16T12:10:42.676-04:00I agree with you about when you know you're a ...I agree with you about when you know you're a writer. When I got my first major rejection, I decided to sulk and lick my wounds, but I couldn't.

If I talk or write about it, I may expend the creative energy I would have put into the writing. And it becomes a matter for public consumption, rather than private meditation and pondering. I don't have the fraud feeling about talking about writing though. Maybe I would if I talked about it more. But I won't.Susan Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312940264954447796noreply@blogger.com
