Writing Is An Adventure

Writing is like taking a journey into a foreign land. You don't know where you'll end up or what to expect. Then again that's the beauty of writing.

Thinking about this post it reminded of Jack Kerouac's great novel On The Road. I will encounter stumbling blocks and setbacks. Is the character the way I want portray him/her? Is the story good? Will the audience read it? Yet, like Kerouac's character, Sal Paradise, you keep going.

I have been brought into the world of dance, performance, and poetry reading. The adventure is never ending and yet different from one moment to the next. When I'm able to act on my adventures, life is pure joy. This is why I love to write.
