Why I write

Because a good writing day is better than all the mangosteens in the world. Because a good writing day wipes the memory of all those bad writing days entirely. Because I love it.

    So today was a good writing day, then?

    Not sure it replaces all the mangosteens. Would probably complement them nicely, though.

    I’m taking it that today is a good writing day! I can honestly say that I too love to write, and I don’t regret any of the hours I’ve spent writing, even if it sucked (although, I much prefer good writing days too! Only it’s not my career *yet*).

    Mmmmm… Mangosteens! I so wish I could go back to SE Asia, just so I can enjoy a bag of those fellas again, fresh from the side of the road!

    Sorry – it was the magosteens that got me… thanks to Sarah Knight over at her blog!

    Cheers ;-)

    Belongum: Excellent. Sarah Knight’s blog is one of my fave new discoveries.

    You doesn’t get mangosteens where you are? We gets them when in season here in Sydney.
