Once again, the lovely ladies of the Query Tracker/ Rally Storm blog chain offer our (very different) takes on a subject.  Terri started out this topic, so follow the link to start at the beginning of the chain!  Another link and thus, another take on the topic, will be added every day! Heather is going after me and her post will be here.

Well, Elana always says it better than I do :) I also love that line. I've stepped away from writing many times...in fact, I've spent more time ignoring writing than actually trying to do it. It is more of a job for me than something I HAVE to do...although that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, because I do. :) But during the times I am not writing, I fill my life with other things I love. And the story I am working on right now is loosely (with lots of fun embellishments :D ) based on a period of my life that was just beyond crazy. At the time it was a mess....but now...great story fodder :D What more could I ask for?

Loved this. What a cool person you are. Funny how the things in our lives that are the most messed up end up being the catalysts for the best things--or at least the things that make us appreciate who we are and what we want. Glad writing was still there when you came back.

Crap. I posted as anonymous, accidentally.

...in the sense that you need to experience things, shake thing up, LIVE and mine those times for all they're worth.

This is such a poignant post. Isn't it funny how a writer has to build character in order to create them?

Oh, I can relate to having to live with an are-TEEST, and a legend in his own mind, who really spent most of his energy quashing my creativity. Let's drink a toast to these gentlemen having passed into the past!
