If you write for God you will reach many men and bring them joy. If you write for men--you may make some money and you may give someone a little joy and you may make a noise in the world, for a little while. If you write for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted that you will wish that you were dead.
Thomas Merton
Well I don't wish I were dead but I do wish that I never had the idea to go back and edit the story I wrote for my grand daughter. Why didn't I just leave it as is and call it day?
One minute I think its cute , the next I think it sounds terrible and want to tear it all to pieces...reminded of the quote above and which I shared before. So true though when it comes to writing...even if it is only a 500 word Children's story.
Back getting better but mind is interfering.
Will write more soon.
All is well.
