I probably think of myself more of a teacher than a writer - well, actually I don't think of myself as a writer at all, but I do love to write, and I do love my beautiful unconscious mind who sends me such a mixture of silly, beautiful and perfect words :-) I have really enjoyed running this project. When you get to read all the contributions you'll see what I mean. Amy, thanks :-) I had to coach myself through resistance to taking part (!) but I'm glad I did. It's good to share something deeper of ourselves some times. Joanna Karen, thank you.

Your love of language, and your passion for writing, shine through your words, and I can't help but be dazzled by them. Just beautiful! Oh, Joanna, what a beautiful contribution to the project!

This is a post that delighted all of my senses and so clearly articulated the heart and soul of a writer. Thank you running the writing project and for contributing. Good on you! Karen Joanna,

Then it's just a question of getting out of our own way :-) My muse likes it best when I get out of the way! I hope you do take part, but no worries if it doesn't work out - the words will come out some time later, when you're good and ready :-) Joanna Hi Deb, it’s lovely when the words just ask to be written isn’t it?

I wasn't going to participate at first but one night my entry just started forming in my head. I've been working on it for over a week now and think I finally have it complete. I plan on posting it Thursday (nothing like waiting till the last minute.) I've gone back and forth even as I was writing it as to whether I should post it. I really enjoyed yours. I'm glad you decided to share it with us. I know what you mean. I wasn’t going to participate at first but one night my entry just started forming in my head.

I feel very moved and humbled by the words that you've all shared. So you're right, I couldn't resist joining you :-) @ Catherine, oh yes, even when I try and cajole her to wait till the morning there's just no putting it off sometimes :-) I'm hoping you will submit your entry *before* Friday! Of course you can pull it off. You could make it about writing and business if you want, or how writing inspires your business, or business your writing, or just make it an opportunity to learn more about you... I look forward to seeing what you come up with anyway. (And if you're late, I'll let you off, seeing as it's you, but I'm not going to give an extension to everyone!)

And I'm glad someone else has a subconscious that talks to them and makes them get up and write too. I feel a bit of a twit though as I assumed we had to submit these entries on Friday. Not that I have any idea how I'll pull this off on a business blog. Hi Joanna – this is excellent.
