I was thinking that you’ve been writing here for a good while also, so I checked. You have 76 posts, so we started writing IWO about the same time. Interesting. Also, you gave me the idea to write from a celebratory viewpoint this month. Thanks for that. Last month at the Women Word Weavers, I read my post, so they celebrated with me!Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-17667108330915040612019-11-28T08:39:48.042-07:002019-11-28T08:39:48.042-07:00You have been prolific, Sharon.

We all go through seasons in our writing lives; the main thing is to keep writing, even if we have to make necessary adjustments.

Listening for a quote, a book idea, a thoughtful discussion. "This is the way. Write about it," was an important takeaway for me. We also listen to God's prompting when a work is ready to be written. I too pray you will keep on writing.

I used this all the time when I worked as a chaplain. I hope and pray you keep on writing, Sharon. Your words always find a place in my heart.

That’s why I am celebrating what I have done instead of what I haven’t done, but this is a new approach for me. As a writer I need to write. This has been a problem for me these past few years, so I need to get used to making use of small amounts of time. Thanks for joining the conversation, Valerie.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-21865399616158181352019-11-11T17:45:31.458-07:002019-11-11T17:45:31.458-07:00You have written faithfully, Sharon!

I'm choosing to consider the writing I have done, some published, rather than the yet unrealized goal of a book. We ARE writers, whether we have a book published or not. Let's take some satisfaction from that.Valerie Ronaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020108953259726880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-16944834329701125982019-11-11T12:09:50.940-07:002019-11-11T12:09:50.940-07:00Happy Birthday, Sharon!!

Thanks for sharing the advice about making the time. So true and well said. I often wonder why a book seems so important to most of with all of the other writing accomplishments we have but like you, I think about a book as well. Needless to say, the question, "Are you still writing?" confirms that you are a writer. People have read your stories. That's wonderful!Vickie Stamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078923845655016294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-17993092704504889972019-11-11T10:35:22.291-07:002019-11-11T10:35:22.291-07:00Thank you for your encouragement, Tracy, and I’m l...Thank you for your encouragement, Tracy, and I’m learning to trust God more fully for the rest.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-54207991494196568592019-11-11T10:19:13.837-07:002019-11-11T10:19:13.837-07:00Your list of writing accomplishment is impressive....Your list of writing accomplishment is impressive.
