When is the product you create really finished? It is hard to say for me. Everytime I read something I have created, I find a way to change it, or squeeze it, or peel off a layer, or add a spice here or there. I have a hard time letting go of a story, just like boxes of clothes in my basement that do not fit.
There have been times that I finish a work and brush it off, not having really liked the experience while writing it. These are usually assigned pieces which require little dramatic flare and little individual “voice.” Writing for a living is not always going to be fun, or meet the creative need to express my point of view. It will sometimes feel like a chore to meet the bills. However, I would not go back to nursing, or any other clock-in job for any reason. I love what I do and love the freedom it allows me. In what other job can you use your mind to share words that can create emotion and influence action?
