Thanks for sharing with us, Kathleen! I’m dabbling and discovering what works for me in keeping my whole life, not just writing, fulfilling and productive.

Good analogy, Shonna! Hoping thin run will get you to a mountain peak!

As for me, I’m trudging along and making progress. The brambles have overgrown the trail a bit (translation: lots of life experiences trying to steal writing focus from me), but my routines are making it possible to keep moving up that mountain.

Thanks, Kathleen! These are some really great ideas to think over. I am “thinking large” right now and it seems to be working – or at least I’m not stressing about my writing.

Of course I want to hear them! That sounds wonderful!

Congratulations, again, on going back to school! I’m profoundly jealous.

Holy crow!!! That is exactly how I am when I am doing something. And I equally just realized that I don’t trust myself at all. I was reading one of my journals from 2000, crazy! And in my journal all I saw is that I was never enough. It was never enough, not the moment,not life. I have spent most of my life feeling like that. I am just beginning the journey into writing. I have read Wild Mind and Writing Down The Bones by Goldberg. And one of the things I have found that is helpful is the idea that the story wants to be told. I am just a vessel so to speak. It also helps to read books that continue to strengthen my voice. I think it is important to stick to the thing that works. Not because there isn’t better but because we are getting our goal accomplished. I am always all for if there is a better way to do it, I’m in. But I have done it at the sacrifice of the thing itself. lol And I usually always do this! I am a homeschooler also so go figure, I have done it with curriculum, books and art. So, Hooray for you that you are going to stick with what get’s the job done!!!Just know I am there sista, maybe at the beginning but there!!
