The words, '...the passion has not left you,' mean an awful lot to me, as there have been lots of times over the last few months where I've been wondering if it has.

I hope the tension transfers into creative productivity soon. Funny how we long for ease yet so often the best work comes out of difficulties - be encouraged, the passion has not left you and I'm sure a way forward will open up for you somehow.

Because life happens. And we can make our writing dreams and goals happen one tiny step at a time. Yes, please do dust off your manuscript, re-birth the blog and share what you can when you can. I agree with others here. You definitely have a gift and a team of cheerleaders in us. Go for it, girl! :) XxJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-80924170368745679972016-01-24T14:45:29.165+00:002016-01-24T14:45:29.165+00:00...and then it turns out that January is just the ......and then it turns out that January is just the same as December but without the fairy lights.

It's like waiting till you have enough money and the perfect house before you have a baby or waiting for the perfect space In your life before you get a dog. Like Nike says: Just Do It. Somehow life fits In and around the baby/dog. So just go into a wee corner, shut the door on all the housework etc and WRITE for 2 or 3 hours. Then somehow your life will fit in and around those writing hours. And the other people in your life will come to accept that's how it is. Mmm . . . Think I'll try it myself!
