Really liked your post. Sometimes I feel that life gets in the way of getting my writing done. I put my writing and my dreams of publishing to the side until I picked it back up four years ago. Slowly but surely I am in the process of editing that first novel that I plan to publish soon. Writing in a process. Thanks for the words of reassurance.

Hi Lyn,
Such a pleasure to read your kind comments – strangely they have come at a time when I suddenly find myself thrown sideways by career events. You’re right – it is so important to retain that commitment to your writing. Not only in terms of time but also keeping it alive in your heart.
You have given me a much needed timely boost and I can say with more conviction than ever, keep writing! You clearly know how to stay true to yourself, and I wish you all the best in your decision making.
Gemma

What a fantastic, uplifting article. Only yesterday I posted on Facebook on my worries about a possible full time academic job – because it might take me away from my writing. I too gave up writing for many many years and I have that fear that it might ‘happen again’. Working part time gives me free days to write stories and songs – and all the things I dabble in (guitar and Tibetan and whatever takes my fancy).
I think the message I take from this is make time for it. It’s the best decision you could make.

Karen – so thrilling to read your kind and honest comments, thank you. So touched that happening upon this piece has had a positive influence – I couldn’t be more proud. It’s always so good to hear from others who find themselves in a similar place and who understand. I wish you the best of times, Gemma

Wow. Thanks for writing this. I read it by chance (?) via a Twitter post. I’ve been writing since age 7 and have set it aside in the past three years. It calls to me daily but I’ve ignored it for a myriad of reasons. Your words reminded me that in order to be whole, I must write. Thank you very much! No more setting it aside now… I’m going back to my first love… writing.

[…] Perhaps it’s just my desire to produce kicking in, with an alternative (to children) version. The fact I’ve created this blog is already evidence of that shift in me http://booksbywomenorg.netfirms.com/coming-back-to-writing/ […]
