Writing 
2 Comments A Touch of Madness
There as many reasons people write as there are writers; as many resolves to continue writing in the face of obstacles as there are reasons to get back to the page after the knock-down of a rejection letter. Each of us writes for different reasons, but all of us share one thing in common: a terminal case of insanity.
As a lover of words and how they can tease and cajole at the same time, I’ve always loved this alternate definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Doesn’t that define most writers? What writer doesn’t continue sending out a manuscript or article, despite of the growing pile of rejection letters? Or constantly editing a story until its right, only to lay it aside and upon reading months lady, edit some more? Doesn’t that, well, describe one who has a touch of insanity?
