Jan, Thank you for reading my essay and leaving me your thoughtful comment!! Means the world to me. Once I penned the essay and sent it to the editor, I felt a complete relief. It was liberating to admit that I can’t do it all. I’m back working on my 5th novel, and it feels good to be working again and not just promotion my latest release.
Looking forward to getting to see you again soon now that we’re both fully vaxxed.

You’ve shown admirable courage in speaking truth when it really matters. The ultimate courage is speaking truth about yourself. You’re ever an inspiration! ❤️
]]>Hi there, CF Winn,
Thank you for reading my essay! So glad I’m not alone in my feelings about wanting to support other authors but feeling so overwhelmed at the same time.
Best wishes to you!
]]>Dear Katherine,
Thank you for reading my essay and taking the time to leave your kind note. Lifts me up.
I’m learning from you and so happy we met through Andrea!
Thank you for all of your support, Kristine. I’m proud to know you as a friend and colleague.
]]>I really love this post! I share your feelings about wanting to be supportive to other writers. Being supportive to one another is always a good thing. And yet we can’t always be on call. We need checks and balances and a degree of flexibility in our interactions, or we give away our power too much and become depleted. There are times to give and times to receive. And you, Katleen Rogers, give of yourself hugely—bless you!!!
