Thank you so much!

I agree that you are a very talented writer indie. I definitely don't think you should give it up.
One of the women in my old writer's group was a retired journalist, and she turned to writing novels. She was working on a spectacular historical novel about the Tuskegee airmen, based a true story that involved her husband's family.
Have you ever considered writing a book?

I am another fan of your writing indie.
While teaching, you could work on a book, little by little for sure.

Have you ever considered writing a book? Only every day of my life since I was about five years old! I think I finally have an idea too. My boyfriend doesn't understand why I don't just sit down and write it. He thinks it would be good for the last few months of stress from the newsroom. The truth is I'm scared to let it out of the dream box and really try. Everyone's words of support mean a great deal to me!

Okay, immediately go to the bookstore and buy the following books (if you don't already own them): "The Right to Write" by Julia Cameron "Writing Down the Bones" and "The True Secret of Writing" by Natalie Goldberg "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott If those don't motivate you to do it, nothing will.

It certainly was. On my friends hen party celebrations (Brit speak for 'bachelorette party' I think) in Wales. We went for afternoon tea in an old stone house (think of a place where a woodcutter might live) where honey is made and hiked up Mount Snowdon. My legs ache but I had a great time.
