I would love for my words to flow in 2019. Wishing you all the best! :) <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-32707734005921555922019-01-07T12:15:19.530-08:002019-01-07T12:15:19.530-08:00Thanks Heather.

And in the real world too. What's happened to me is I've lost my writers group with the move. I need to either start one here or travel to one. 2019 be the change!!

And, oh...the slowness. I relate to that, too. Sorry to hear that's something you struggle with as a writer!<br /><br />Also, that timer for four events sounds like a great idea. Best of luck meeting all your daily goals! Hope 2019 as a whole ends up being a productive year for you...Heather R.

I wonder if taking a break might be more freeing for you. A time to think and draw inspiration for the next writing adventure?

This divide will most likely lead to my never being discovered as a writer, except of course, for loyal bloggers like you and a few friends and family :) We reach a point where it no longer matters. Writing becomes our way of life.
