July already? Tempes sure does fugit! The day this goes live, the mover dudes will be loading all our worldly goods onto a truck bound for Las Vegas! Fare thee well, Gritty City (AKA Tacoma, Washington) until we meet again when we flee the desert heat next summer.

Time once again for the Insecure Writers’ Support Group’s monthly blog hop. The IWSG is a wonderful source of writerly wisdom, companionship, contests, anthologies, and more. Check it out here.

This month’s question: What would make you quit writing?

Woman clutching her skull. Text: It's never gonna happen

Writing is in my blood. It’s how I process my thoughts and feelings. Ask me for a clever quip or a quick decision, and I’ll splutter like Porky Pig. But give me some time to write out my thoughts, and I’ll (eventually) find the perfect bon mot. Or several bons mots. A plethora. A deluge. Oodles.

I’ve been a storyteller since I was old enough to understand what stories are, and I’ll be spinning tales on my deathbed. Give up writing? Why?! Even if I never see the level of acclaim and $$ I dream of, writing brings me joy. So, quit writing?
