There are those who talk of the loneliness of the writer. They speak of hours spent sitting alone with a computer or typewriter and the solitary frustration of battles with the blank page.
That hasn't been my experience.
I get to have really cool experiences as a writer that I wouldn't otherwise have. Here's a for instance. Today, I had a past life regression hypnotherapy session. This is the second session I've had. Both were for the purpose of writing articles. In a few weeks, I am going to undergo a past life regression session live for a podcast.
Here's another one. Last weekend, I got to tag along and ask annoying questions while a paranormal group investigated a haunted mansion. And not the Disney kind. Later this month I get to go with the same paranormal group and investigate a reportedly haunted hotel. How cool is that?
I love to write, and I really love all of the stuff that comes with writing under the guise of research. I've talked with interesting and entertaining people. I've talked with famous people. I've had the chance to have unusual experiences. And perhaps best of all, I have the chance to ask as many questions as I can come up with whenever I meet and talk with someone.
For a curious cat like me, I just can't imagine any better line of work.
