Lovely post, Amy. The idea that barreling downhill is just gaining speed to go back up is particularly appealing right now. 🙂

BTW I don't say it enough but I love WRITERS IN THE STORM, yes shouting purposely. I'm always inspired, educated, and supported because of the wonderful and insightful work you all do. Now I will place my shovel back in the garage and get to work. 🙂

I enjoyed this post. I too have chosen to write. Its been with me my whole life but there was a distinct shift when I decided to no longer be guided just by serendipitous inspiration and actually make the choice to move forward as a WRITER. (Insert the auspicious James Earl Jones voice). Each day I try to move forward in some way toward my writing goals. Reading a lot, writing a lot, researching alot. Writing a lot. Its taken on a little life of its own and more than any awards, contracts, or publications, I'm most proud of the fact that I'm doing it and its really is all about developing the woman I want to be outside of being an educator, mother, wife, which I love but they really define me for others. Writing defines me for me.

In reply to littlemissw. Exactly, Littlemissw! and after all, if you love writing, you'd be doing it regardling if you publish, anyway, right? Nothing to lose!

What a lovely post. I've always been a 'writer', I still have pages of my adolescent angst tucked away somewhere, but the moment I chose to be an 'author' was when I started writing my first novel. Three manuscripts and thousands of words later, I'm still working at being a published author. People tell me there's a good chance I'll never get published and I tell them that they're right, but it's a certainty I won't get published if I don't keep trying. You've got to be in it to win it, after all.

My ideas! You know, when you get an idea, and you just KNOW there's a book in there somewhere...you just gotta go down that path, don't you?

Best of luck with your new release, Amy!
