Act of Creation


Todd wrote a brilliant comment on my post entitled "National Novel Writing Month".

The part that really struck me was this bit.

"I don't pretend I'll be a huge seller but the act of creation is sometimes enough. And the fact that it's "out there" in the world is also at times comforting."

--Todd

I agree with Todd. The "act of creation" is a good enough reason all by itself.

I wrote a lot of blog entries before I ever got one comment or even proof that anyone ever read my posts. I wasn't initially blogging because I had an audience; I just wanted a creative outlet.

Sometimes on my best days, I think of my entire life as performance art an absurd play, or a funny cartoon strip. If I could just remember this on the days when I am tightly wound and stressed about life.

Thanks, Todd.
