I love the feeling of accomplishment and the joy that comes for writing for Him. It really makes the writing so fulfilling :) Merry Christmas!Joanne Bischofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850714020955061159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-5608028451545862362012-12-12T08:54:18.605-05:002012-12-12T08:54:18.605-05:00Oh Liza!

I love writing even more today than when I first started. But you're right, it can be frustrating. The words don't always flow out. <br /><br />I love this woman!

(can't say drudgery, my husband might read this) ... taking out the garbage. Just like you said.<br /><br />But I wouldn't give either of them up. They are too much a part of me.

So very true. Writing is a daily 'thing'. You have to work at it, you have to want to make it better even when you think it's already okay. That's the only way to get out of it what we want.<br /><br />I'm so very thrilled that you've stuck with it, like I have, all these years (think you're one of the first bloggers I ever followed btw). Your time will come, and it'll all just fit. You've worked too hard for it not to.<br /><br />This is my first month in the IWSG, and I'm just making my way down the list ... and there you were! :-D Like bumping into an old friend at the supermarket. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-8583137047656553492012-12-05T10:43:19.076-05:002012-12-05T10:43:19.076-05:00I love your site.
