Telling Stories Makes Everything Better

Never sacrifice your real life for your writing or your work.

John Kremer

Dec 08, 2022

There are many ways to tell a story to make a book better, to enchant a live audience, to make a website better, to enliven a podcast episode. Or to explain what happened last week when I missed three planned episodes of this podcast.

Often when we are in the middle of writing a book or carrying out a marketing plan or producing podcast episodes, our personal lives interrupt. That’s what happened to me. My 13-year-old dog Becky would not eat anything on Tuesday.

When I took her into the vet on Wednesday, I found out she had a huge mass growing in her abdomen area. Apparently not cancerous, but still growing. X-rays and an ultrasound showed that an operation might not save her. We’ll talk to another vet to get a second opinion, but there’s a good chance that Becky won’t live long.

Fortunately she’s eating well now so she won’t waste away, getting weaker and weaker by the day. As with many pet lovers, I love my dog. She has been my companion for more than 13 years. I will miss her when she is gone.

Never sacrifice your real life for your writing or your work. If you are like me, you can’t not write, but make sure you fit in some real life as well. Spend time with those you love. Laugh hard. Walk in the woods. Play with your cats and dogs and children. Be kind to everyone.

Becky, my dog, a few years ago romping in the springtime snow.
