… A Writer.
Funny, I felt like I was a writer.
I looked like a writer.
I even wrote like a writer.
Got the message at the top of the blog page today:
You have not updated your profile in more than 180 days. Please visit your profile and confirm that all fields are up to date.
… they said to the woman who has written once … at least … every day … since June 24th 2012.
With all due respect, I am thinking I would have made adjustments if something had changed.
Apparently daily writing, commenting, following and liking of other posts is not enough.
But truth? I am in the lobby of a very nice retirement facility. I escaped for a short while to write. In the quiet. With internet connections. Granted, the internet connections are limited. I cannot post to my private blog … or copy files up that I want to copy. But …
Sitting beside a nice fireplace.
Then people started showing up.
Lots of people.
And a woman who is now playing the grand piano behind me.
And now … more than ever … I realize how much I need silence to write.
Maybe if the music was more something I liked …
Wouldn’t want to court insanity.


I adore when my husband is on the road, silence is at my command. No extra T.V. blaring, even between two rooms. I need the quiet to write. And, what do they care if you update your profile? I can’t stand notices like that. π

Made me think of that old song “Silence Is Golden” … I always chuckle when they ask things like “So what is your favorite music for writing?” It does, however make my answer short and sweet. π

I get asked quite often why I stay up into the wee hours writing..well, that’s simple too. It’s quiet!

It must be because I was doing something so terribly un-blog-like … writing. π
