I read your blog at lunch today Erin and I felt again the sting of tears. I truly admire the attitude you are working towards. The optimism and respect for yourself you put forward is the best of all possible responses. What more could any other person do?
It's such a different place to be in... to love and respect a good person, to seem to fit and compliment, but then to recognize that there are some elements to love and relationships that can't always be developed... they are a state of being - and sometimes they're there... or were there, and then life changes and the nature of the beingness changes with it. I understand why some religions caution us against clinging too closely to desires or reality. It really can't be captured or controlled.
I am among those who will hang on your every word as you write the new stories. And perhaps I'll take another look at the blank pages ahead of me instead of constantly rereading that last novel I was on myself. I hate putting down a good book too, but damn it... I say we're both good writers Erin... Bring on the paper! Now, let's get out there and kill some trees!!!
Uh... okay... or let's maybe do some gentle recycling first and THEN let the pens dance!!
