I never ...I think the generalists keep things real. I never wanted to be a writer as a child even though I always wrote and did well at it. I don't even think I want to be a writer now; I certainly don't regard myself as one. I think if I had to sum up what I really want it is to be able to tell stories about the world via some artistic medium which I suppose does involve writing. <br /><br />I am unfocused. An imperfect dreamer. Yet I find this is where I draw my inspiration from. I am also still testing the waters. Hopefully one day I'll be able to swim in them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-48048019803547511382009-04-29T10:22:00.000+02:002009-04-29T10:22:00.000+02:00I think the thing is Tania, I've finally accepted ...I think the thing is Tania, I've finally accepted that maybe I don't have to be a specialist, that I can just bounce along the way I do.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-37114982277606603552009-04-27T16:27:00.000+02:002009-04-27T16:27:00.000+02:00A great post Lauri, I know what you mean about env...A great post Lauri, I know what you mean about envying people with a single-minded passion, people who've known what they wanted since the age of 5! But being a generalist is wonderful too, otherwise the world might just be filled by cocker spaniel trainers. This made me think of Jonathan Miller, described on his Wikipedia page as "a British theatre and opera director, neurologist, author, television presenter, humorist and sculptor". The world is all the richer for him not specialising in one thing...Tania Hershmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-50829067520319678912009-04-26T21:26:00.000+02:002009-04-26T21:26:00.000+02:00Thanks guys.

Just the little snippets you let slip are quite hilarious. Thanks for your kind comment but after three days of being angry at various people I'm not sure if the world wouldn't be a better place if I just stayed in bed for a few days. :) <br /><br />Monday tomorrow- cross fingers I behave this week.....Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-53443817240761120232009-04-26T19:10:00.000+02:002009-04-26T19:10:00.000+02:00I second what SueG said.

That's always been a part of me, always been there for me. Stories have always wanted me to tell them, but like you, I cannot seem to pick one specific type and stay with it exclusively. <br /><br />Good for you and your excellent writing skills, generalist mind, and amazing talent, Lauri. You're the kind of person that makes the world a better place.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769610505748900163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-5846222498755294552009-04-26T13:45:00.000+02:002009-04-26T13:45:00.000+02:00love this post!
