Cheryl,

Thanks so much for visiting — sorry for the technical difficulties! always over a holiday weekend, isn’t it?

We just got back — after dedicating a week to family and priorities, and I almost didn’t finish my own personal goal of National Novel Writing month. The book isn’t done, but I finished the contest on time. Now, I’m still working. Family first, but the novel just won’t stop coming.

This is the book that will be agented, published through a larger house. I’m claiming it!

Thanks again, and we hope you’ll see us again with your next release…

Ashley

Cheryl, your post is just an affirmation of the things I’ve learned lately about being around positive people and dreaming big dreams. And what you’ve done with all the responsibilities on your shoulders is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’m glad you didn’t give up! We’d have all missed out some great books

Key to the family photo: each color is a different family. My husband and I are red, and then there’s blue, white, black and green.

Thank you, Dale! I have aspiring writer friends who have lives yhat involve trips and favorite TV shows and movies, but guess what? They don’t have many pages written.

What a great post! I needed this to kick my ass and get my productivity back up again. This is my inspiration for the day!

Thank you, Kris. At least 5 or 6 people have posted me that they couldn’t get in to read the blog. Thanks for checking into it.

Thanks, Amy! Life wouldn’t be real life without obstacles, but challenges do make us change and grow.

Whenever I find myself telling more than one person about a difficult situation, I catch myself and stop. Yes, it might be a problem, but I’m better off looking for a solution than talking about it.

Thanks for sending your buddies.

Thanks Cheryl,

I laughed at your comment regarding ‘having a life probably means you’re not a serious writer.’ As a single mom of four, full time freelance writer to pay the bills I haven’t had a life in years, but my fiction rarely takes a back seat even in this mess.

Thanks for the reminder of a phrase that comes around and haunts me on a regular basis – What if I do quit – and lose the greatest chance in my life – who knows what’s around the corner!
