Not Writing

I wish I could make myself write more often. I know I should and yet I never get my dumbass up here to write. I guess this post is simply a chastisement of myself for not doing what I know I should be doing.

It would be easier if somebody actually wanted to read what I was writing. It's like I'm living in a vacuum. I write and when nobody is interested, I stop.

I actually did get a children's book done. It was a Christmas story that I tried to self publish on Amazon. com, but the crappy software would never work for me. I posted it on facebook and got quite a few nice words and some shares, but the picture I took of myself and Emily in front of the Christmas tree got five times as many likes.

A fucking picture. It takes absolutely no effort to take the damn picture and post it, but everybody throws a like on that stupid thing. I work hard on something that I care about, like the book, and very few people give a shit. Why is it so much easier to like a picture than it is to like an actual creative work?
