Thanks for the post. You were very honest about where you stand writing-wise, which is refreshing. I actually think I understand where you're coming from. I had a painful/surprising revelation about my writing life this past month, and I've been taking it real slow since then, even though everything screams at me to "push through" this and "just write." Moral of the story is, just take your time figuring it out. If you feel like you need to be writing, then you should work on that - but don't do it because you're supposed to. you know? smiles :) -CA It’s good to hear from you…I know I checked back a couple of times, and wondered how you were.

Thanks so much for commenting. Seriously, it has been almost two months and seeing that made me realize I *HAD* to update C.N. to at least get something out to everyone explaining what is happening with me. I really appreciate your insight and thoughts. I never thought of writing in the terms of a relationship. Looking at it from that perspective makes tons of sense and perhaps that will help transform the smoldering ashes of my writing drive into the bonfire it was in '08. I promise not to give up and to keep on keepin' on. I can't thank you enough for commenting. :-) -A Hey Janna! Thanks so much for commenting.

I guess I hadn't realized, because I DO still see you on FB. You've had a lot of change the last couple months, so go easy on yourself. We all need to adjust sometimes, and during that process our ambitions can seem uprooted. Just know it's there, and you'll pick it back up when the time is right; your head (and heart) just isn't in it now. I completely agree with the sentiment that if you want it badly enough, you'll make it happen. Writing is that commitment you have to take seriously -- but that doesn't mean you don't deserve a hiatus once in awhile. Soon enough the fire you're feeling in the pit of your stomach (probably now associated with guilt or disappointment that you haven't done anything) will flare up as desire and motivation, and you'll be on your way once again. What's most important now is life and your marriage. And the craft of writing, like a healthy marriage, can take time and coddling. Just know you have time, and don't rush it for the sake of doing it. Don't give up! Sheesh, has it really been 2 months? I guess I hadn’t realized, because I DO still see you on FB.

It’s been a while, so I thought I’d leave a comment, let you know we’re thin king of you.

I don’t follow the whole Kindle thing much, but that one looks pretty darn appetizing, so to speak.
