I'm glad Hall's interpretation of "work" resonated with you all. After a wonderful four days with old friends (this is our annual get-together), I came back refreshed, and (true to Hall's vision) eager to get back to two re-writes.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-21315820442330118252010-11-08T23:54:04.396-08:002010-11-08T23:54:04.396-08:00I love this distinction between chores, labor, and...I love this distinction between chores, labor, and work. It's a very nuanced way of thinking, and a nice reminder of the power of connotations. Thanks for sharing that.

Yes, plotting and wishing and giggling and writing and ah-har!-ing and scribbling and deleting... it is all work (and we love it, right?!)<br /><br />Hope you had a nice time away.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-78188832174662763942010-11-06T19:25:46.974-07:002010-11-06T19:25:46.974-07:00This is definitely something that always catches m...This is definitely something that always catches me. It's hard to tell people I work as a writer because so far, I'm unpaid for it. Our society has so much focus on salary that people often don't accept that you're a writer until you've been paid for that task. This offers a different way of looking at it, and I LOVE that. Thank you for posting about this!Meagan Spoonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881408113410657709noreply@blogger.com
