And Then Some News

And Then Some NewsThursday’s essay, “On Being a Writer — An Irresistible Compulsion,” is a personal essay that focuses on writing and, specifically, my writing career.

Share your And Then Some Story about writing. For how many years have you been involved in writing? How successful are you or were you? Can you tell us where your impulse to write originated? When it comes to other people wanting to be writers, what would be YOUR message to them? Can you share your tips, stories, or suggestions regarding writing? We would love to hear your story. Do you have a friend, a family member, a neighbor, or someone you just know from a distance who is or has been a writer? Can you tell his or her story? Feel free to use a pseudonym for the person’ real name.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
On Being a Writer — An Irresistible Compulsion
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:

What many who aspire to be writers may not realize is that writing is often lonely and isolating. Writing is hungry for both time and emotional energy when some might rather be using both in other ways. There are days when you would like a life, when you would rather stop and find something else to do, or when you just want to throw your hands up in frustration and say, “I give up, that’s it, no more!”
