Reading this, I felt like it was for me. Thank you, dear friend, for this post. I needed to read this and gain a new perspective, and I needed to see that I am not alone. I think I may do a post like this in the near future, if you don't mind. You got my mind turning.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have always wanted to write a fiction book.
I think if I inspired you at all it is a real honor and you should do what is in your heart. It is a wonderful way to see the things that you have accomplished. I have a lot more for each list but I wanted to keep it short. You are not alone my friend. I am standing beside you a thousand miles away.
DeleteI have actually written close to two hundred pages of a fiction story but I lost it in one of our many moves. It is part of the reason I am getting an English Degree to prove to myself that I can finish.
