For a freelance writer, eye surgery is about one of the least fun surgeries out there.
Now, I’m not saying there aren’t more painful or scary surgeries (there are), just that eye surgery is particularly un-fun for a professional writer.
It has always been my contention that the only people who should be professional writers are those people who love writing. I am one of them. Over the past couple of years, I’ve also grown to love designing and building websites and experimenting with the countless tools and services provided via my computer.
But, as I type this, my vision has already begun to fail. It isn’t surprising, computers are much brighter than we give them credit for, and the particular type of focus required to read on a computer is a fairly tough one for the old eyeballs to manage. So, here is where the no fun part comes in.
Many of my favorite pastimes, from reading to writing, to design, to just plain going through my RSS feeds, to answering questions, comments, and criticisms are all on my “can’t do” list thanks to my recent surgery.
Oh, well. Hopefully it will be worth it in the end. In the meantime, I’m stuck with TV which isn’t nearly as fun. Of course, I am catching up on my napping!
See you soon.
