June 7 question – If you ever did stop writing, what would you replace it with?
I’ve made a lifelong commitment to the study of philosophy, psychology and behavioral neuroscience. Spending time with loved ones, listening to music and working as a healer keeps me busy. No matter how I pack my days I can’t imagine throwing away my pen. I’ll always write fiction.
Noir mysteries are my favorite novels. I’ve been told my taste in genre would change as I mature; but after working at 3 bookstores and receiving a masters in writing and consciousness – mystery has remained choice!
Writing stories is a coping mechanism I’m lucky to have. Writing grounds me and helps integrate information.
Above are pics of my generous friend’s guitars. My guitars are cool – but not Dave’s guitars’ cool! I don’t play enough to commit to an investment. I’m fortunate to have talented musicians among my family, adopted family/friends.
When someone takes the time to read my writing I’m honored. Even if no one read my work, which is more often the case, I’ll never stop writing.
If I stopped writing I’d have to replace it with therapy. More therapy!
What would you do if you ever stopped writing?
I always return comments! If the punctuation’s weird it’s because I’m using hands free in traffic. Looking forward to everyone’s posts!
Excellent answer!
I LOVE these pictures. 1000 words? Heck, I can hear, smell, and taste these. I love, love, love it!
I’m co-hosting at the IWSG this month. Did you know that June is Audiobook Appreciation Month?

Just stopping by again to say hello.
July 4 is Alice in Wonderland Day, a commemoration of when the story was first told to the Liddell sisters by Lewis Carroll in 1862.
