Did you read Forever? I haven't really lost the joy, well I guess kind of. I'm a little frustrated over not having much luck publishing. And frustrated over trying to put my first novel together. But even though it lingers in my mind to give up, I've spent too many years trying to give up now.It would be like giving up on your troubled child, you can't. You just keep hoping for the best.

Keep Writing!

Then I was in the middle of super stressing over writer stuff and I recalled it. Balance! I put down my laptop and went to play with my kids. It was a really simple decision, but wow! how it made a difference. I've made similar choices for balance, for enjoying... closer to relishing... other aspects of my life. And the flipside of the balance equation is that the super stress has decreased. A recent conference attendance took it even further. So thanks very much for the reminder.

Inkletter, It is so great to hear that I am not alone in this journey and it's wonderful to know that you've come back to your writing. I feel like I would be denying a part of myself if I was to ignore my passion. Thanks so much for commenting and the suggestion to put my signature on the bottom.
