Dear Kathleen. This is exactly what I hope to do for writers – make their work and the growth of their work feel possible for them wherever they may be on the learning and growing spectrum. The despair you speak of stops way too many writers in their tracks, paralyzed by doubt and bewildered about which way to turn. That is why I often sign my books and these posts with the admonition to “Keep on Writing Whatever May Occur.” Thank you for your encouraging words. Blessings. Alice

Dear Kayelle. Thank you for your comment. Words like yours help me to understand why I create these posts in the first place. Because, if I can be of assistance to a writer like yourself who already has so much talent and expertise as well as the publishing success that proves the appeal of your stories, then doing this work is worthwhile. Now if I could just figure out how to make these posts available t a wider audience. I am working on that and you, Kayelle, are a shining inspitation. Blessings. Alice
