Last posting, I wondered about even calling myself a writer. I felt unproductive as a writer, and with that, I was losing a large part of my identity.
Well, life gave me quite a wake-up call on this issue.
I lost all my communication with the outside world. No phone, no computer. No tv.
I also ended up losing other stuff, like my electricity.
In part, this came about because I could not cope with the ups and downs of life when I was unable to sit and type and communicate through written word to the outside world.
Yes, friends and family, when you can't interact with them, are the outside world.
Oh, I could write things out by hand, make lists, cry into my soda pop. But it wasn't the same, wasn't effective without feedback. Without readers (listeners.) The solutions would come from me, the answers to my problems were in my hands, but without my readers, I was lost.
Sounds -- and feels -- like a writer to me.
Glad that is settled.
