It is sad to see a lot of people who I used to know, not be there anymore. <br /><br />I almost gave up my blog too, not because I didn't love it anymore, but just because it got to be too much. I started it out with the intention of one thing, becoming published and now that I am, the blog sort of became a moot point. <br /><br />However, I know I'd miss all my friends which is why I kept it.<br />So, not much of an answer but the only one I have.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107245040090735659.post-16222929293725888662012-01-17T05:43:03.755-07:002012-01-17T05:43:03.755-07:00I'm with Talli, I remind myself why I write.

It's what holds me and my writing together. <br /><br />I'm starting the adoption process and writing is the one thing that's holding me together.

Remember Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream? He didn't live to see it, unfortunately, but his dream came true! Dreams do come true, they really truly do. Just not as quickly as we'd like them to. Persistence and patience!<br /><br />When things seem hopeless, I read something that'll cheer me up. Calvin & Hobbes comics does the trick! Also reading childhood favorites like the Anne of Green Gables series. Stepping back and taking a breather helps too. And always, chocolate!! :)Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107245040090735659.post-31044032370475339322012-01-16T15:02:22.729-07:002012-01-16T15:02:22.729-07:00Oh Angie!

It'll be duller place if you go! seriously!!<br /><br />When things feel hopeless I go into a funk and do a Garbo and want to be alone. In the dark. Silence!<br /><br />Then I don't know. Something inside of me snaps and I hear my inner voice say "this is stupid, snap out of it you big baby!" Then I do! <br /><br />I think decluttering helps too. I remember faithfully buying this mag - I kept sending my stories in, entering their writerly competitions and being such a loyal costumer and after my millionth rejection, I stopped buying it. I know it seems silly and the mag was probably (most definitely) right to turn my stories down - but just by cutting the mag out of my life did I get a little of my confidence back. Silly of me really, but it worked!<br /><br />Take care Angie!!
