No wonder we sag, and at times, crumble. Panic and bolt. I had the worse writer's block of my life this fall until I finally really listened to the characters and then the story took off. I just sent it to my historical editor. Find your way in your own way and time. We all struggle. We just don't all admit it. Blessings on you.Beth Trisselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742049964476824594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-2595636795662075152014-01-07T00:54:09.296-06:002014-01-07T00:54:09.296-06:00Ellie, I congratulate you for writing such a heart...Ellie, I congratulate you for writing such a heartfelt article, because you nailed me, too. My word is Denial. Denial is my friend when it comes to writing--if I can deny all the chaos and outside pressures, maybe the writing will happen a little easier.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-1071125791323163922014-01-06T13:25:05.152-06:002014-01-06T13:25:05.152-06:00Ellie, I'm glad you are striving for your joy....Ellie, I'm glad you are striving for your joy. I would say my word for 2014 is New. I would like our place sold so we can move to the new one. I'd like my new adventure in audio books to work out. I'd like another New project I'm working on to pan out. And I'm working on a new perspective of seeing myself and my writing. So my word is New! <br /><br />Keep us posted on all the Joy you find this year.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-3746593992507940262014-01-06T10:10:13.962-06:002014-01-06T10:10:13.962-06:00Ellie, it's as if you climbed inside my skin (...Ellie, it's as if you climbed inside my skin (you could fit easily) and pulled out my feelings for the past year. You are such a stellar writer and lovely person that knowing you have a B-side somehow alleviates mine. Trouble shared is trouble halved. Joy is the perfect word for 2014!Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-52925553214696415752014-01-06T10:00:24.958-06:002014-01-06T10:00:24.958-06:00December was a grueling month for me and my writin...December was a grueling month for me and my writing, but I've picked myself up and got right back on that horse. It's important to know that none of us are alone. We have friends in the writing community who understand exactly the way we feel and are willing to help us through it.<br />Joy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515837783651276460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-31898473190158579812014-01-06T07:31:30.738-06:002014-01-06T07:31:30.738-06:00Your blog was very interesting.

I have not figured out my one word yet, but will work on it today! Thank you for sharing!
