I went with some friends to a casino last night…
I’m not much of a gambler…
But it was something to do.
I mean I can’t send queries 24/7.
As I walked in…
Colorful animated graphics dazzled my eyes..
Exciting electronic sounds filled the air…
People mesmerized…
Sat in front of slot machines anticipating.
Wow, I thought, they’re intense, focused.
Is this merely fun for them?
Or is it an addiction?
This morning…
After only 4 hours of sleep
I couldn’t wait to get up and get the day going.
I booted up my computer…
Watched colorful graphics pop up on my screen…
Turned on my favorite Internet radio station…
And began writing this post…
Then, anticipating, I checked my email inbox.
And that’s when it occurred to me…
Sitting in front of my computer…
Throwing in time instead of money…
And anticipating a payoff…
Did an agent request a partial?
Or a full?
Will they want to represent me?
When will I get published?
And what about my blog?
Did anyone respond to yesterday’s post?
Would I get another follower?
Is like gambling, no?
And when I said my blog was going dark…
I got withdrawal symptoms.
Because I can NOT stay away…
And that’s called withdrawal symptoms, no?
Which means I have a blogging addiction, yes?
So?
Am I the only one?
Would you call your writing/blogging an addiction?
And do you ever feel like a gambler...
Betting in a publishing casino...
Even though you know the odds are against you?
Always, Em-Musing
