Honoring The Muse

In the morning our small local writers group will meet. I have not written any fiction in months---maybe a year now--- and have submitted only a couple of things since the first of the year. I certainly don't have anything for them to consider though they all have pieces for the rest of us to read and work on. I'm not sure I help my fellow writers at all. In fact, I am pretty sure I don't. They all have multiple books published and multiple published short stories at various markets.

Going is very physically painful and exhausting for me. If it wasn't for the help of the members who not only help me get place to place but put up with me and my limitations, I couldn't do it. Going will wipe me out for the weekend and then some as it takes days for me to come back to where I was.

There are many reasons not to go.

I'm going because it is time to honor the muse and writing is the only thing that keeps me sane. Of course, there are days when I wonder if sanity is way over rated.
