I think you said it better than I.<br /><br />Pet,<br />We want to be read. We are afraid to be read. Most of my friends and family also think I'm wasting my time. I'm not. Watching TV is what I call wasting time!<br /><br />Talli,<br />It's not really lonely to be either. I meant it more as "alone" vs. lonely. But hugely rewarding.

I wish people will read me more, I have to confess to that :-)<br />A secret: Most of my friends do not understand why I "waste" my time with my blog, what is the purpose of it, they say. Would you call that friends!<br />PS. I myself would be frightened to fly solo!Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051290783539970956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-76994921594065335082012-07-25T10:00:49.734-07:002012-07-25T10:00:49.734-07:00I have to admit, I hadn’t heard of Beryl Markham u...I have to admit, I hadn’t heard of Beryl Markham until I read this. It seems solo achievements depend a lot on the media and maybe a bit on timing. I like the idea of writers as solo pilots. To sit down and begin to write takes confidence both in ones self and in there being an audience who cares, or now days, who will take the time to read when the work is finished. Of course some are better at getting the attention of the media to assist in this regard.Anthony Ducehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476865809734682418noreply@blogger.com
