Writing

Why do I write? Is it to get my thoughts down on paper? Is it because I've always wanted to be a writer? No and No. My reasons for writing are not so noble. My writing is for purely mercenary reasons and my blog is to rant and rave and vent.

So now that I have joined helium every month I write my ass off trying to earn money. Since I am at home everyday you would think that I have lots of time to write. Unfortunately that is not the case. Every time I turn around Robyn or Jordan wants me to drive them somewhere. It's irritating and pisses me off.

If I could sit at the computer for the whole day, put in my 9am to 5pm writing time I could probably write in my blog everyday as well as write two or three articles. There is always something. Like housework, dogs want to eat, then need to clean their shit, ironing, laundry and everything else in between. It never ends. I in the end become frustrated and irritated and just feel like drinking.

I have often thought about writing a novel. Yes in my fondest day dreams I would churn out the great Canadian novel. Fat chance that ever happening. As soon as I have my chain of thought going someone always interrupts me.

Yes the life of a writer or would be writer sounds so academic but in fact it is frustrating as hell.
