In Others’ Words: Writing Road

Beth VogtFun, Life, Quotes, Uncategorized, Writing 30 Comments

Just having a bit of fun here today. I read this quote and thought: Where else does writing lead to?

Writing leads to … late nights and little sleep.

Writing leads to … the red pen. (I’m an editor. What did you expect?)

Writing leads to … a serious break with reality sometimes. (The voices in my head are talking louder than the real-live voices.)

In Your Words: Your turn. How would you fill in the blank? Writing leads to _______________________. Writers, tell us where you’ve ended up. And everyone else, tell us what you imagine — or what you’ve discovered by watching your writer-friends.

  1. Ach! I’m up writing…and it’s 3:54 a.m. Hubby is over-night on a job, so I’m taking advantage of his empty side of the bed with notes and timelines, etc. Besides, it’s hard to sleep when he’s gone, so I might as well be doing something productive, right? Or should I say ‘write?’

    Writing leads to roller coaster rides. Extreme highs, extreme lows, and the adrenaline rush that goes with both.

    Great quote.

  2. Writing leads to sleepless nights, dependence on God to get the story right. Writing leads to simple dinner menus. Writing leads to deeper friendships with other writers. 🙂

  3. Writing leads to over-eating. I’m totally serious. 🙂 When I’m frustrated with a character, I wander to the fridge. When my plot has gone off course and I’m fretting about how to refocus, I wander to the fridge…yeah, not so good for the health goals.

    1. I’ll go with sheer brilliance. 🙂 What I love is when a crit partner or mentor says, “This is brilliant!” and I’m thinking “I had no idea …” because I didn’t try to be brilliant …
      LOL

  4. Writing leads to complete and utter amazement when God weaves a story before my eyes and under my fingertips. I’ve watched God work in so many areas of my life, but I think it’s on the page that I’m most amazed because it comes together in ways I could never imagine on my own.
