I had a wonderful morning--made myself write a thousand words before checking email. And then I got to read your wonderful words! Thank you! You made my day.<br /><br />~DebbieDebbie Maxwell Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533418585502995994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-2782627109078965032011-09-13T07:46:48.337-06:002011-09-13T07:46:48.337-06:00I write to escape the stresses of life.

I find that whenever things in real life go crazy, I end up writing like crazy.<br /><br />It's the same with reading.<br /><br />I encourage you to always write, no matter what seems to be happening. It's a marvellous way to cope.<br /><br />I hope you are doing alright in the meantime? Just remember the three 'W's: You are wonderful, worthy, and worthwhile.<br /><br />Hugs!S.M.

But I find that those are treated by writing through them as well. We can write much of our struggles in real life into our characters and stories and make them more complex, more interesting.<br /><br />Praying for you this week!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364450628532101635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-73932076530428494672011-09-12T15:42:01.482-06:002011-09-12T15:42:01.482-06:00I'm guilty of getting derailed sometimes.

Since then, I've refused to let that continue to be the case and, like you, now make some amount of time for writing daily. <br /><br />Writing gives me perspective, gets out the grief, clarifies the nebulous. Plus I love my blogging friends. You guys pick me up when I'm feeling blue. :-)<br /><br />Have a lovely week to come.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-37823598222769533262011-09-12T14:36:53.308-06:002011-09-12T14:36:53.308-06:00Good for you.
