You either start now, or it is not going to happen for you, and you are going to wake up at seventy years old…filled with sorrow that you let your dream, your passion, gift, fall by the wayside. You start now, as is. “As is” is the portal to creation, to new life. “As soon as” is a form of delusion and therefore soul death.
~ Anne Lamott

Nice one. Happy Writing, Kathy.
I used to enjoy writing, until I became an English teacher. Now, I so wiped out at the end of the day I’ve run out of words to say. On the positive side, I enjoy encouraging my students to write well and think about it as a career option. I do enjoy reading and I write myself reviews, so I will remember what I’ve read. I noticed you mentioned reviews in one of your articles. Where do you send reviews to?
Wow, this goes right with something on the wall above my desk:
“If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word.” – Margaret Atwood
