Partial playlist for the drive home

[marydell]

This weekend feels like a life-altering experience for me - I've been struggling to find balance in my life between my career and my various creative pursuits. I love my career. But I didn't realize how little I loved my various creative pursuits--drawing, 3d graphics, craftsy stuff--until this weekend, when I've fallen so deeply in love with my own writing process again. Fiction writing is the thing that's been missing, and I think it can balance out my internal see-saw if I set it in the place that's been occupied by those weaker pursuits, opposite my career.

Keep at it, Mary. I hope I'll get to read some of your creations soon.

My wife the professional writer (no, I don't have more than one wife) has encouraged me to try my hand (or my pen or my keyboard) at it again, and I should probably listen to her. Of course one should listen to one's Significant Other.

I was about to ask regarding the number of wives.
