Dreaming about writing

Two little anecdotes got me musing tonight. The first: my blogging friend Gwen Buchanan blogged today with a stunning/gorgeous picture her library, which made me quite envious (who wouldn't?). It reminded me about those posts I made from time to time about places to write. I would love to write in a place like that. The second: one of my cousins published a book of short stories. My mum told me yesterday, (half) joking: "now you must write a book too". Well, I did get published, but I think she meant fiction.

And I think I would love that. I lack time and discipline. I am an artist, or an artist wannabe, I find it easy to rehearse lines and play a character when I get my mind into it (as I once said here), but writing is more difficult. It is a more intellectual art (acting is more intuitive, to me at least). But I would love to find the discipline to write at least a short story here and there.

I saw her library too (hence how I found your blog!) and it is simply stunning!!

T'as oublié de mettre le mot "cousin" dans ta phrase. Et il n'est pas sûr s'il appellerait son livre un roman ou un recueil de nouvelles. Et oui, tu devrais écrire un bouquin itou. On veut tous faire ça un de ces quatres. Moi, si j'ai plus le temps de jouer à Donjon, il va falloir mettre mes idées sous une autre forme. Au moins, ce ne sera pas du Donjon direct, et ça ne se passera pas dans l'univers de Forgotten Realms...
