Saying NO

I’m doing it.

MY thing.

Not yours.

Not hers.

Not theirs.

Mine.

My thing.

My thing is to write.

I’m a writing fool.

Not a saleswoman,

A writer.

My spare time,

Be it physical,

Mental or emotional,

Is for writing.

A head filled with

Tasks, phone calls, texts,

Meetings, Facebook pages,

Order-taking, customer service,

And work, work, work,

Is not conducive to

The writing process.

So the answer is No.

Once and for all:
No.

I am not a saleswoman.

I am a writer.

Writing is my passion.

My precious.

My own.
