Sometimes we need to question what we're doing and writing, and I'm sure that once you get through the other side of it that you'll recognise and maybe even appreciate what that reason was, however frustrating it appears to the time. Thanks very much for your final words. This is what I want to try and do here. The affirmation is powerful. Joanna Rick, it’s good to hear from you.

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I've had the worst case of writers block, and it has hit me to the point that I have been questioning all that I write. This week, I've finally found a way to get myself back to a 30,000 ft. view of things. It's helped. I'm not going to try and dive directly back in, but I am running with the thoughts when they do come along. During the past month or so, if I tried to write anything at all, the thoughts just dried up quicker than I could load any tool to write in. I have been trying to get myself to just pick up the pen and notepad that I keep with me everywhere I go, and simply write my thoughts there - no bootup, no program to load, no page to open just to write a thought or two. So far it hasn't worked, but I'm remembering more. What you've written here really has meaning to me - it's helping me organize my thoughts on my writing issues. Your words are helping me find mine. Thank you. Rick Joanna, this piece really hits home a bit for me.
