Writing Compulsion

Word challenge: ADOXOGRAPHY--what kind of writing is this? (see end of post for explanation)

American novelist John Irving (The World According to Garp) said: "The way you define yourself as a writer is that you write every time you have a free minute. If you didn't behave that way you would never do anything."

So I have been writing--working on next book, query letters, etc.--so much writing that I didn't post yesterday.

As the Martin De Leon research progresses, I share this:  Martin believed that his prayers to the twelve disciples before he went to sleep saved him from being robbed and killed one night as he slept by a campfire.

"Adoxography" refers to skilled writing on an unimportant subject. Sounds like a requirement for Twitter!
