Too many people bought the brain washing "its all capitalism that's to blame." I have some hater too that keeps attacking me and my site. <br /><br />All I can say is that whoever reads your blog should come to grips with the idea the capitalism is about forging on your own and not being on the government dole.

I struggle. I edit. I rewrite. It's frustrating. After I publish, I am tired but happy.

She also wrote in bars.<br /><br />As for writing being hard work, well, welcome to the real world. Writing is damned hard work. Hemingway said something to the effect that he might take a holiday from writing and work as a ditch digger.<br /><br />As for the malaise, that goes with any really creative work. You get deeply down into your psyche, down in the deep basement where strange half-formed notions and the ghosts of ideas live. It is sometimes called "dedifferentiation". and it can be really distressing. That's why writers have to be tough.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-45447618115381921792013-11-27T09:54:27.878-08:002013-11-27T09:54:27.878-08:00Why they hating when they should be congratulating...Why they hating when they should be congratulating!

Wh...Anon, you are the one with twisted logic here. What the hell was all that psycho babble? <br /><br />I don't think Cappy is asking permission from anyone to create his own wealth based on ideas. Come to think of it, that is how most producers do it: have an idea, create the product, sell the product and generate profit (and pay taxes after that). Of course, Cappy is creating and selling based on his knowledge and experience. And yes, this means of production is in his capable PRIVATE hands.<br /><br />So, what are you advocating? "What I hate about captitalism is that all means of production are owned in private hands." Ummm....ok....so, you are not advocating private ownership, so that means your are advocating collective or state-run production, right? <br /><br />Wow, bud, right on!
