I love this post and completely agree - writing IS something you fight for...

It has been a really hard lesson, learning that it wasn't all sunshine and roses and flawless words on scented paper :)

Sounds off you're much better off without HWSNBN. At the same time, sometimes it's good to step back and experience life; otherwise, what would you have to write about?

leahclifford February 3 2009, 18:52:27 UTC

Exactly, you've got to do stuff. You've got to read and live and take things in so that you can put things out. Don't overdraw from the well without putting something back in!

I love this glimpse into your life. And caving sounds like a fabulous thing to fall in love with.

Although I had no idea you used to date Lord Voldemort...

Yes, it's a little known face that me and Voldie dated for three years. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was our break-up that pushed him over the edge. Sorry 'bout that.

Wow. That last paragraph just says it all.

I've left writing and come back to it so many times, but right now is really the first time in my life where I have actively chosen it and decided to make it important enough to fit it into my everyday life.

And look how far you've come since you chose it!

Wow, Leah, this is an awesome post. I also enjoyed the little window into your life. I appreciated the lines "I left writing. I came back. It was still there." Sometimes I feel so impatient in my life, like I can't take even one day away from writing, or I won't come back. I've since learned that I can, and I do, but it's a good reminder for me during these impatient times. Thanks!
