I love this so much--and only in part because YOU GOT A DOG! I love this line: "I’m not just a writer, and while your mileage may vary, I’ve found it’s dangerous to overidentify as a writer. " So true. And yes there is a whole life out there, and that's the whole point of writing--to live life and then, oh yeah, write about it. But live it. There's a great Richard Ford piece from a long-ago New York Times series. It's called something "Goofing off While the Muse Recharges" or something like that. Advocating the importance of NOT WRITING. And if it's for the sake of a PUPPY! Well, what more can one say?!
