Novel groupies
Oct. 8th, 2006 09:18 pmI've been off LJ for most of the last couple of weeks; I'm writing again. I've been inspired, and though I only have 14 pages, I think they are a good 14 pages.
I have what other wanna-be writers dream of: a laptop computer, a Purdy's chocolate gift card, an espresso machine, and a supportive partner who is also a great reader. I don't, however, have a groupie.
I'm a word slut. Punctuation, correctly applied, makes me hot. Books are sexy, so those who create them must be too. Writers must have groupies.
Despite my otherwise perfect qualifications, I would make a lousy writer groupie, because I'm an aspiring writer myself. The perfect groupie finds the whole creative process to be completely mysterious, so that increases the sex-appeal. Other creative people just don't have enough blind admiration.
Unfortunately, I don't think I get to have a groupie until I am published. It must come with the fame and fortune that inevitably follows publication, right?
