In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

 Free Reads -- Diana Cambridge on Writing

Friedrich --

Chris Bertram (of Junius, here) was kind enough to email along a link to a good piece by Diana Cambridge in The Guardian, here. Cambridge asks writers who hold down office jobs yet manage to finish novels, How do they manage to do it? 2Blowhards visitors who have gotten something out of our discussions of the challenges of being involved in art yet having to make a living will probably enjoy the piece.

Thanks to Chris Bertram.

Best,

Michael

Thanks for the link to the Diana Cambridge article - excellent and right on the money. I'm Director for Quality Improvement for a company that manages nursing homes - I'm an RN. By the time I get home - even if I'm traveling around the state - I'm emotionally exhausted. Sometimes I have to focus on my book's cover (imaginary of course) just to get myself to the computer.

BTW: I'm thinking of setting up my own blogging site. I need an outlet for some of my "stuff" - like "Ode to a Nurse's Baldder."
