I enjoyed stopping at Inkwell Inspirations today; I thought she had some tie to GWTW but couldn't remember what. Thanks for filling me in.<br /><br />Thanks, too, for sharing your thoughts on why you write. I agree, it does take a lot of time and sacrifice. I guess it's about balance and following God's leading. And yes, I'd rather write and be published:)<br /><br />I'm flattered that you bookmarked my blog.<br />Thanks and blessings!Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-58822289329443937782010-01-19T20:26:44.064-05:002010-01-19T20:26:44.064-05:00Karen:

I had all these feelings to express. <br /> I gained perspective back then and was able to allow God to heal me. Whenever I have a backset, I continue to write. <br /> I agree with all the others. God is in this activity called writing.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-61322374346717748492010-01-19T19:26:06.973-05:002010-01-19T19:26:06.973-05:00Karen,

I will always write, but I don't know if I'd give up so much of my time to do it if I knew I'd never see it published. Because to work toward that goal, I must sacrifice time I could be doing things with family and friends or other things I enjoy.<br /><br />I'm going to bookmark your blog.

I have...Well, that's is a hard question Karen. I have always liked reading a lot, being an only child I think it was one way to add friends and other members to my family. Then I thought when I was little that I could write a book about the epic life of my great-grand mother. It is not happening! <br />To top it all, English is not even my first language, yet I feel more comfortable with it, especially the spelling and grammar compared to French spelling and grammar!<br />I really do not consider myself a writer, but somehow I have ideas and I need to communicate them. Or I have news and I need to share them on my blog with various far away members of my extensive family.<br />Talking of liking words, I particularly like "White Oleander" from Janet Fitch (I know the book is inappropriate in many places, but so close to real life). She writes as if she was making lace. I love it. <br />Sorry I went on a bit.

I see motives for actions and emotions checked by guarded mannerisms. I watch a movie and an idea stems off from a single word.
