If we did not have passion then we would not want to share it with others and would surely be content to keep the work in the attic and go and admire it once a year.<BR/>We, even as adults, thrive on praise, acknowledgement or even just being noticed. And as bloggers we are showing our wares and rushing to look at the latest comment (yes you do).<BR/><BR/>So my Minx theory is -<BR/><BR/>passion = creativity = need = naughty biscuitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665385782194826703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-28281624181472333342007-06-06T15:57:00.000+01:002007-06-06T15:57:00.000+01:00How great it must be to have a passion for writing...How great it must be to have a passion for writing that far outweighs self-doubts. And how great a word - or compound word - is pointy-stick? <BR/><BR/>By the way, I failed when it came to concieving of self-flagellation in the mental sense. But never mind. I took a moment to visualise its application in the usual way. Thank you!

I have always been a little nervous of sharing mine because I know I will come across as a complete nutter and rule breaker extraordinaire.

I will attempt to answer your very valid question in my next post (oh shit!).<BR/><BR/>LM, you may also notice, from the comments from the two awfurs above (Debi and Lee) that being a little 'off kilter' is a requirement of writing novels - beware!<BR/><BR/>Naughty biscuit anyone?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665385782194826703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-33056182703251259582007-06-06T10:06:00.000+01:002007-06-06T10:06:00.000+01:00Naughty biscuits - so much nicer than scary biscui...Naughty biscuits - so much nicer than scary biscuits ...<BR/><BR/>And in answer to the question - I don't think the self-doubt ever goes away.
