Mary Morstan

May I just point out: Mary Morstan is not an Original Female Character created by me. She is Dr. Watson's canonical first wife.

I decided many moons ago that I really love writing, but to do it professionally would be crazy-making. Writing something to publish is on my lifetime agenda, but I wouldn't quit my job (which I love). I need the daily interaction, I think writing professionally would leave me talking to imaginary friends and crying on the floor.

I hear you. I have an issue with deadlines--anything I'm having fun doing immediately becomes a chore if I have to get it done by a certain time. So there's that, plus health issues that I would need to deal with (if I even can) before I could consider being able to travel extensively, which one has to do in support of one's pro writing, apparently. So I plink away at my original things very slowly and have fun with fanfic (though I've had trouble finishing that, lately, too. *sigh*)

Oi! Yeah, health stuff can really get you down. :/ I hope you find a solution there! Man, I hate being a patient. :(

Thank you; we're working on it. I'm not a very patient patient, either. *g*

I hope it's nothing too scary! Once you get that sorted and you feel good, I'm sure you'll feel more confident taking on all the things you want to do. :)

I'll be a force to be reckoned with! Rather than just an annoying buzzing sound in people's ears. :)
