Why bother? Because you’ve been called to write. Not every one. Only the lucky, tortured ones. 🙂 Who cares? You do. Whenever you need a flashlight in the dark, return to WWWB. I do. 🙂 Best of luck!! Wishing for all good things for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a page on my website that is full of resources for aspiring writers. I hope you find it helpful and hopeful.

Thank you MM for shining a light!

Thanks for the pep talk. Sometimes life seems nebulous/foggy and so what if I just skip a day?
However, there is something steadfast (I don’t care to call myself stubborn – that’s for others … if they dare!) about me. I WILL WRITE. There was a time when I had to write in secret (relationship mess), but I did it! So now, I relish the freedom to write. For decades (too many to mention online) I have believed that I MUST write, and now, it is still true. It’s hard work and yes, I do buy expensive exotic tea and sometimes chocolate, but that is just dessert!

Yay! So happy to hear this and thank you ever so much. Rubbish days are horrid, aren’t they? I get so grumpy. 🙂 Good for you for getting back to it! You cannot be defeated!

I’m so pleased that you feel encouraged! Thanks so much for taking the time to share. I completely understand about that jolt of renewed confidence when you realize that you are not alone. I hope your writing is going well. Keep on. 🙂
