Writing: For Fun

I just saw a quote today that sums up what I've been thinking about writing for some time:

"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly." -Rose Franken

Starting and ending with a joyful appreciation of what writing does for a soul- that is what is even more important than the passion for perfection. Passion and maturity in thought sharpen proficiency, but it is silliness that got us moving and will keep us going: the silliness of playing and laughing as we write; the silliness of single-minded conviction about something that cooked up in our heads. Without it, I think passion can derail to jealousy, or envy, or obsession.

Trust and joy- they're important for our relationships with God, and for all the things in this world that we choose to love as well :)
