Reading this a day late, so Happy Belated Birthday! I know exactly how you feel about writing. And yet. 68K! And an anthem as well. No small feat.

Have a wonderful birthday!

And I hear you on frustration and contemplating looking elsewhere. Finding other outlets has been my saving grace.

Happy birthday, Rachel! I can't wait to read each and every one of those 68k words (and learn what then anthem is ... AND learn your news) :)

Thanks, Greg! I really appreciate that... and realize how this post was veiled with so much secrecy! :)

I hear you on breaking up with writing. And I might've said maybe you just need a novel break, except 68K! And an anthem! Dying to know your good news, of course. Congrats on a new newsletter. Will check it out! Great song.

Thank you, Sue! Writing is such an emotional rollercoaster. So many ups and downs! Hope you're feeling more ups than downs these days. Thanks again!

Please, Please, Please tell me that the name of your book is "Sitting on the porch watching ugly children go by".

Ha! No, but that would be a great title for a short story.
