decided.

I was having coffee with a friend the other day and we talked about writing briefly. She is an incredible writer, with an incredible journey. When she writes she takes you to where she is and through every emotion she feels when there. I never begin to read any of her stuff without a tissue box near.

She asked if I like to write. Yes was my answer, but.....I decided. One must be slightly insane to write well. Good writing, I think, comes when a ton of time is spent alone and you are terribly lost in your thoughts. To the point of feeling slightly insane.

I haven't had too much time alone lately. And when you have people to share the insane ideas/thoughts with it's hard to want to write.
That is a good thing for me right now.
