Getting off the Ledge or Get Back After It?
It’s either give up or keep getting after it.
Condense Your Life
So what’s in your life that you can downsize or even get rid of? What can you change that will give you more time, more space, less to do? Because if I can essentially live out of a duffle bag, I bet you can cut some stuff from your life.
Kill the Whore?
Do you dare write a Starbuck? Can you write a heroine who is deeply troubled and uses sex as a method for seeking self worth in male attention, yet still have a hero who loves her despite it all? Can this heroine be redeemed? Would you even want to or be able to write such a heroine? Why or why not?

Expectations: Real Life and Writing
manage the things you put out in public. As a writer, figure out what sets you off from the crowd and run with it but that thing is a keg stand, you might want to reconsider. People have expectations of you as a writer.
Falling in Love Again or Trying Something New?
So try something new. Don’t limit yourself by saying I don’t like paranormals. Try one. Don’t refuse to read a historical. Try one. Ask a friend for a recommendation. But try something new and kick yourself out of the habit of familiar reads. You might just find something new or remember when you liked something different and you might just find the inspiration you need to kick your own writing into gear.
Thank You Part 2
I told you I was going to forget and these are along the lines of how could I possibly have forgotten. But I did, so there you go. I’m correcting my egregious oversight now. But rest assured, there will probably be more. Thank you Irene Preston for trucking...The Imposter Within
I don’t know when I made the change from idealist to cynical pragmatist, but it happened
Growing
Never pass of a moment to learn from something or someone around you. I’ve had some great teachers and I’m just grateful they haven’t given up on me, because I’ve learned some powerful lessons this year.
Saying Thank You
Just know that I am incredibly grateful for all the support and all of our soldiers are grateful for every care package and every email.
