You know… I have thought of Grandma Moses. Thank you for that note of encouragement. If I ever do get that book finished; I will send you one. And like you say, we continue because it is what we are driven to do. I want a copy of your book when it is finally out for public consumption. :) I know it must be good, for you express yourself very well.

Incredibly happy, sane, and content. Yes. Thank you for your encouragement and the same to you. Grandma Moses started painting at 78, by the way, so don’t ever kid yourself that you started too late. Ultimately we write for ourselves…because God put it in us and we can’t do anything else.

And I want to read your book when it’s finished.

And I want to encourage you with the thought that at least you didn’t wait till you were thirty-eight to decide that writing was your gift. I’ve always known that writing makes me feel incredibly happy, sane, and content. But, it took bravery for me to admit it, and to think that I could succeed at writing a real book is beyond my comprehension. I want it so bad I can taste it tho, so regardless if it is ever noticed, reviewed or published, I must keep writing. You write because God gave that gift to you. Don’t ever quit because of people and their opinions. My family likes me better if I sort myself out with words. I suppose, because it makes me more real and less melodramatic. I assume this is the case with most writer personalities. SO, Cheerio my friend and keep on.

We KNOW our work isn’t perfect, and we WANT others to critique and suggest and help. SO WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO PAINFUL??? And why does one negative review or even tiny comment stick like a cockleburr to our obsessive little minds? Your 3 points are very good and true, but we still feel like cutting off ears sometimes.

“My art is not the sum total of me” exactly! I appreciate when my blunt-ness and failures and feelings are accepted as part of who I am becoming in Jesus along with my crafting. I am just me trying to live out the new commandment same as everyone else.
