Dancing On the High Wire
I have no idea if anyone not a writer has an interest in this http://madgeniusclub.blogspot.com/ but many of you are readers, and perhaps it would be of interest to take a look at my road to publication. It is neither unusual nor unusually difficult. It would, however, have been a total shock to me when I started out. It would have been an even greater shock to me when I was "just" a reader. Writing is part obsession -- possibly mental illness -- and part vocation. A writing career is part persistence, part luck and part -- I hope -- craft and art. I blog on Wednesdays (after recent adjustments) and my mind -- you'll be shocked -- often runs to strange things. My co-bloggers are usually saner, more reliable and always interesting. Anyway, if anyone is interested, there is a peek behind the curtain of the few, the proud, the almost completely insane. posted by Sarah on 04.21.10 at 11:24 AM

Sarah, you are the sane one of our group. We keep telling you that. As for your mind running to strange things, that's what makes you such a great writer. But you are right. Being a writer is a combination of persistence, luck, craft and art. Of course, it doesn't help to be, as I am learning, more stubborn than logical when it comes to our craft.

Wonderful site.
I just hope you'd never say that your co-bloggers here are usually saner, more reliable and always interesting.
