Autumn brings a fulfillment, the ending of spring's promise, and the harvest. It is a time to be grateful for the bounty of the land, to recharge your creative batteries. In a practical vein, autumn brings cooler, rainy weather, when staying indoors and writing is much easier than in summer's inviting sunshine. Autumn can also be a time of beginnings, time to pick up that manuscript you put down in the spring, dust it off, and get to work again. Writers can be grateful for autumn.
Writers can be grateful for things to do.
Although it can sometimes seem like there is far too much to do, it is far better than the opposite. Having deadlines and goals keep you writing when you do not feel like it. Having responsibilities tells you you are needed and wanted. In a book of short stories called Azazel , Isaac Asimov writes about an author who is given the gift of an interruption-free life. Soon the poor man cannot write at all, because having to snatch those precious moments around life's demands was exactly what gave him the impetus and inspiration to write.
