I, too, have had several health issues over the last year and I've gone from not writing at all (and being miserable and angry) to writing every day (and being thankful and productive). I realized writing was one thing in my whole life that my illness couldn't affect unless I allowed it to do so.

It took a lot of trial and error, commitment, and support from my friends and family, but I can honestly say I am a writer every day of my life.

Best for now - Nikki.

EXACTLY! Somehow the busier I get, the more I get done. And when I have nothing else on my plate, I get nothing done. You're accomplishing so much so clearly you're doing it right!

Good, because I just approved some more! 🙂

Thanks, Jenny! Got them! 🙂

I think it depends on what you're hoping to get out of writing. Writing is a release for you and I'm so glad you found it! Too many people don't have that thing and take it out in unhealthy ways. Hold tight to that. For those who are writing as a career, we do tend to make a habit of it so we can keep our productivity up. Either way, you just have to find the process that is best for you. For me, making a habit of it helps take the emotional struggle out of whether or not I'm going to do it each day.

Thanks, Trina! I am so excited to be able to share it with you and so proud of you for persevering in your own writing! I've seen a shift in you recently and I hope you recognize it. You're doing it, lady!
