That’s a great question, Jehsyka. I’d say that writing *ought* to be fun, and for me it usually *is* fun, even if continually getting better at it and trying to make a career at it involve a lot of effort. If you enjoy doing those things, does that effort qualify as work, or is it fun?

Sounds like so much fun!
Being only thirteen, I can only dream about going to one of these workshops or writing conferences.It’s hard to think of writing as work anymore since I’ve gotten so passionate about it. Hmm…of course, I’m not a professional…YET.
Do you think of writing as work or just plain fun?
^_^
Out of curiosity.

I enjoyed your reflections on the retreat. How wonderful when work is so much fun.

Sounds like you all had a fantastic time. I hope I can make the Gango retreat next year!
