175 To Quit or Not to Quit (Writing)...That is the Question

The Stories Between Us

Why do I keep writing? When all of my greatest writing dreams and goals remain unfulfilled, why not call it a day and spend my time on something else...like curling, perhaps?

Today Maile and I talk about a weekend spent with some of our favorite writer friends and how it feels to realize the first 30,000 words of a novel in progress aren't right (and facing a complete restart). We drill down into why we keep writing, even when our greatest hopes and dreams go unfulfilled.

If you're wondering why you keep writing, why you keep creating, or if you're feeling discouraged about the creative journey you're on, this one's for you.
