The wishing hour

[wiseheart]

I wish I could write short and easy pieces that please people's eyes and minds, instead of struggling with my long and complicated stories that take forever to finish and even the most devoted readers lose interest while waiting.

Damn it! Why must I always be so complicated with my stuff? It's frustrating. And it makes a writer very lonely. And jealous. And bitchy.

For the record:
I am feeling frustrated and jealous and bitchy. So what? I'm almost fifty years old. Age has to have some prerogatives to make up for all that lost time when I was writing for the desk drawer. Which made me write long and complicated stories, as it was bloody unlikely anyone would ever read it.

I'm getting to see some sort of pattern here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way out. I guess, I won't ever have my personal fanclub again. Had it and lost it at the age of 12, when my classmates went to get my western back from the maths teacher. *sighs*

Sometimes I think the last man with taste was my Grandpa - at least int his country. You should have seen my Granny - she was gorgeous and very woman-like. Grandpa used to say that he had no interest for beanpoles. He preferred women who actually looked like women.*g*

I'm very glad you like my writing. We all write to please our readers, after all... well, aside from personal pleasure and joy, of course. And I know I must have some fans I don't know of. I'd just prefer to know about their existence, that's all.

Erm... as for writing on a second language, that'd actually be German. Well, I do write in German, too. It's much easier to do than writing in English. Which is my third language. And if I'm doing it in an acceptable manner, all credit should go to my wonderful and selfless beta readers who keep fighting the good fight against my English grammar. ;)
