My life is pretty routinized but that just gives me flexibility to do whatever I want. I don't want my writing to be routine.</p>

Steven D. Brewer 🏳️⚧️<p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Writephant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writephant</span></a> A2. How about your writing? Is any part of your writing life complicated?</p><p>The writing part is pretty uncomplicated. When I get stumped on a manuscript, I sometimes have to take a walk to sort out what's happening, but that's about it.</p><p>But there's a lot more to my writing life: trying to get published and to promote my work after publication: Attending conventions, running bookselling operations, etc. Plus my service to writing organizations (SFWA and Straw Dog) keeps me busy.</p>
Priya Sridhar<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@adriabailton" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>adriabailton</span></a></span> I’m balancing freelance with writing stories and editing.

What is one little thing you can do to make your life simpler? </p><p>A small thing: I've been trying to run the dishwasher before bed, so I get up to a nice clean kitchen.</p>
Steven D. Brewer 🏳️⚧️<p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Writephant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Writephant</span></a> A1. Do you think your life is complicated? Why or why not?</p><p>Yes and no. As with most things, it's a matter of perspective. I mean, I have chronic health issues, elder care, and relatives that need assistance. Plus, I'm always trying to do too many things.</p><p>That said, my life has been pretty stable: I've had a good career, now phasing into retirement. I've lived in the same house for nearly 30 years. And I have a wife that keeps my life in order so I can live my "life of the mind."</p>

Is any part of your writing life complicated?</p><p>I probably need to work on having less complicated ideas for my books - but I'm not sure that's how it works. Actually, I kind of like complexity. I like diving deep into a story. It may be the reason I gravitate toward writing novels rather than short stories.</p>

Do you think your life is complicated? Why or why not?</p><p>My life is currently very complicated as I navigate a change of day jobs, moving cross-country and all that entails, and my writer life and obligations. </p><p>I'm hoping it will simplify soon with some aspects of the above falling into place and not hanging in the air.</p>

Things seem complicated to us NOW, in the moment, and we remember the past being simpler. But it probably wasn't.</p>
