Thanks for stopping by. I’m sorry about your novel manuscript. Sometimes we have little or big regrets here and there, but we can’t spend our life wondering “what might have been.” I’ve actually done that and it’s not healthy!!

Perhaps you’ll write an even better novel

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a kind comment. Your words are appreciated very much

Why, a writer as successful as yourself wouldn’t have to write another word! What a legacy you’ll leave for your family, as well as all the “passionate readers” that are to come! I know there’ll be so many who enjoy your unique Hungarian stories for years and years to come…

I’m glad you’re following that calling, Renie, and I’m thrilled that you enjoy life to the utmost. That’s how it should be!

Have a great day!

I love to write, but have never been as dedicated to it, as you. (Now reading is another matter. Reading beautiful writing is a passion of mine that will never wane.) And these days, as I’m getting older, I find life calling me to come and enjoy, for who knows what tomorrow will bring. And I follow the call, and am quite happy with my life. But I will still write, as the muse appears now and then and whispers in my ear. And when I don’t feel like it, there are always the reprints! The mainstay of the lazier kind of writer, like myself.

Great post, as always.

Thanks for stopping by. So sorry to hear about the stress in your life. Yes, writing is a great blessing and stress reliever

Thanks for the link. It didn’t all come through on your comment, so I’ve tried to fit it in below.

Oh, I’m going over to read your article right now!

As for trying to sleep with ideas running through your head, I experienced this last month. You can read about that experience at http://mistisandefur.blogspot.com/2007/08/brainstorming-and-research.html

It’s always a joy to find a comment from you!

Thanks for answering the question. Of course, I could have written gazillions of more answers, but I had to stop somewhere, right? ha ha!

I know what you mean. Writing is calming, but the more a writer writes, the more excited he/she can become. “Where will the characters go?” We might ask ourselves, or we might have a flood of inspiration for that next chapter of our book–or even the next book!

Writing is therapy, that’s for sure, and something I’ll always treasure as a gift….

Writing helps me calm down, but it also makes me excited (does that make sense?) And, you’re absolutely right, it’s great therapy.

Wonderful post! Thanks for asking a very good question!
