I am happy to hear that even one writer moves closer to the goal of writing their book or short story. Remember, unanswered passion leads to misguided frustration in the form of overeating, over shopping, over complaining and possibly depression. Take all that pent up "stuff" to that big blank piece of paper and do what should come naturally!Please log in to respond to this comment.
Diane Writing is such an interesting pursuit. We all have stories in us, too many of which never get told. Even if someone writes but it isn't quite of publishing standard, it can still be shared with family, friends and writing groups. Stories are so important to us and our social connections and I'm glad you are encouraging people to write. HannahPlease log in to respond to this comment.
