What about joy....

There was a time when my heart burned to be a famous novelist. Writing a story has always been the most fun thing I could ever do.

Now I have a difficult time feeling as though it is a worthwhile occupation.  There are so many stories already in the world, so many books and now blogs.

Perhaps it is just that I have surrounded myself with people who don't read fiction.

It is difficult for me to  write if there is no hope of a sympathetic audience.

Yet I write this and feel my heart contract for lack of joy.
