Being "dragged" in my own current drama while swallowing words like terminal, palliative, hospice etc. Nothing like inoperable cancer of a parent to put all things in perspective. Life is short. Do the things that bring joy into your life and the life of others. I will check back monthly for your words of wisdom.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203893525713482889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490455496321060492.post-13091204320136492592012-03-13T16:05:57.802-07:002012-03-13T16:05:57.802-07:00Thank you!

I've felt for a good while that blogging has peaked and we're being deluged with them. And of course, we all want to support each other, so it makes it difficult. I think once a month is a very reasonable approach...plus it gives your Muse time to think...and lord knows, they seem to need that!:) (Along with a dollop of chocolate!)Loretta Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992133163167526850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490455496321060492.post-61354155127846444692012-03-13T08:35:17.548-07:002012-03-13T08:35:17.548-07:00Hi Sandy, I've been working on the same issue ...Hi Sandy, I've been working on the same issue this year and understand that you have to prioritize.

Just last week, however, I took the step of letting one of them go, and it was so freeing that I will let others go too.

I have a harder time holding on.<br /><br />But not with writing. I can't believe I lasted as long as I did with Romance Writing. My track record says I should have moved on to writing something else by now. But I didn't. And now I'm being rewarded. I can't imagine the rewards for anything else, besides raising children, could even compare.L.L.

I haven't posted to my blog regularly and I felt guilty at first, but then I decided that writing on my book was so much more important. I try to support my friends blogs. I read and like, but don't always take the time to comment. I retweet and share every time I see one on fb or twitter. I may not be as "johnny on the spot" as I once was, but I do what I can. It will have to be enough. I love your posts. They're so inspirational. Your blog is one I follow regularly because it gives me encouragement and soothes my spirit. But I do understand and support cutting back or whatever changes are best for you.

As I venture further into the social network soup, I'm discovering that balance is important. Good luck with letting go. Feel the burden lift and use your extra hours to polish your story.

It got to the point I didn't know my own characters or where the story was going. I pulled that story and let the editor know I wouldn't be working on it anymore in that vein. It is now subbed to another smaller publisher, but I feel good that it's the story I WROTE that I subbed to the new pub house.Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490455496321060492.post-60156635310019862522012-03-12T09:24:22.479-07:002012-03-12T09:24:22.479-07:00I always love your posts, Sandy.I'm still work...I always love your posts, Sandy.I'm still working on the letting go process:-)Jewel's Gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285251041936115913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490455496321060492.post-26663688138368211972012-03-12T09:18:00.937-07:002012-03-12T09:18:00.937-07:00Good for you.
