It's lonely being a writer . . . especially when you're an extrovert. I want to be out there involved in people's lives: listening, sharing, laughing, crying, encouraging. Making a difference! I watch from my office as a neighbor gets in her car and drives away. Delivery trucks circle the cul-de-sac; our mailman delivers a package across the street; dog-walkers pass by. Staying focused is difficult. I want to connect with interesting humans. They were made in God's image.
Instead, I try to create my own believable, vulnerable, and maybe inspirational characters as they walk dusty roads on journeys to different places. They're the ones I temporarily interact with while I'm in this make believe story-land. Sometimes I don't like them at all~but I go on believing in them. Usually!!! In the end, most become friends I'm glad I got to know. So I persevere, hoping you'll someday get the opportunity to meet them, too.
In the meantime, thanks for being uniquely you and giving me courage to attempt stuff that couldn't be done without you. I appreciate the part real people have made in my life . . . and would enjoy spending even more time with YOU!
