And I have the same difficulty deciding on where to focus my creativity, but I've made my New Year's resolution to listen to my heart and stay on the path I feel most called to follow. So my New Year's wish is that you'll do the same. You write about poetry with such passion and obvious joyful enthusiasm, I think you should listen to what your heart is trying to tell you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689934965062761032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048874398353488883.post-2198999817026108802012-09-07T15:38:44.546-04:002012-09-07T15:38:44.546-04:00Hi Renee,

It was at that point that I dedicded to make a bold move and pursue a career in writing. The road has not been easy one, it's been full of bumps, and dissappointments, ups and downs, but it has DEFINITELY taught me a lot.<br /><br />As you point out committing to writing is the first thing, tell others, make yourself accountable to it - I myself have a challenage of writing 1K words a day and I've been keeping to it. Another thing is to read, read, read and YES study writing. I am currently reading a powerful book called Word Painting, it is phenomenal.<br /><br />I wish you much success in your writing! <br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />Romance, She Wrotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381914507188434880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048874398353488883.post-21222299981004270582012-07-24T08:57:52.533-04:002012-07-24T08:57:52.533-04:00I love the title for your collection, it has such ...I love the title for your collection, it has such great meaning.

I think about it all the time, when I'm driving, when I'm shopping, when I'm showering, it's on my mind all the time. And if I'm not thinking ways of refining a story I wrote, I'm thinking of the next one and how it should 'top' the last one. It's compulsive in a way, but it's good, no? <br /><br />Maria :-)Romance, She Wrotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381914507188434880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048874398353488883.post-54027274697916157272012-03-28T09:43:46.686-04:002012-03-28T09:43:46.686-04:00I like this whole scenario, except that I would ad...I like this whole scenario, except that I would add a little bit bigger piece of dark chocolate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689934965062761032noreply@blogger.com
