So If I feel I need to write these books and become a recluse, then by golly something will come of it! LOL!

It's too lengthy for publication but holds my heart. After I finish what I'm currently working on, I am determined to take a third look (it's already been through a second re-write) and see if God would have me approach the material a little differently, perhaps more in the format of how I write on my blog. <BR/><BR/>No, I'm not giving up on my writing, but have put my thoughts about "self-publishing" on hold for the time being. The cost? Heavens...we won't go there. I've got a second son going to college in the Fall!!!!<BR/><BR/>Have a great week, Terri. <BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-41672379921732391022009-01-27T10:48:00.000-08:002009-01-27T10:48:00.000-08:00I love that you keep bringing us back to the fact ...I love that you keep bringing us back to the fact of intentionality ... in this case writing, but it's a conscious element to decision-making that affects every part of our lives.<BR/><BR/>Joy? You betcha.

Sometimes it is more sheer determination and stubborness more than anything, though. And I agree, this online writing community is such a WONDERFUL support group!Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-55476191870643642472009-01-27T08:14:00.000-08:002009-01-27T08:14:00.000-08:00Thank you for this!For me it's carving out the tim...Thank you for this!<BR/><BR/>For me it's carving out the time. My husband is already my greatest cheerleader in ALL things so I'm grateful...and joy? indeed I have joy so it's the time thing I'm working on. I seem to only be able to write once per week since the end of Dec. prior to that??? weeks!!<BR/><BR/>I apppreciate you Terri. God is using you to be the shove I need.

I've found that when working on my WIP drags me down, I work on poetry or other projects. It's the perfect (and joyful) solution for me. <BR/><BR/>Writing group or community support is ESSENTIAL, IMHO, especially for women who tend not to value their own work and contributions nearly enough. :)Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-18498458545224678542009-01-27T07:06:00.000-08:002009-01-27T07:06:00.000-08:00I'm so glad I can answer "yes" to both of those qu...I'm so glad I can answer "yes" to both of those questions. :) And I'm also glad your meeting was a success!Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-35543840986479944272009-01-27T06:48:00.000-08:002009-01-27T06:48:00.000-08:00Writers have been invaluable to me!
