Call up your friends from the city and get some wine. Join a knitting group (if you haven't yet!). Write. Write when you are bored, when you are tired, when you have nothing left to say. That is when you must write, otherwise, you are abandoning your craft. Writing is also your child. Give it love and patience. But don't forget the wine and the breathing part. Essential to child-rearing, I've always thought. Take a deep breath. Call up your friends from the city and get some wine. Join a knitting group (if you haven’t yet!).

I understand feeling like you have nothing to say, or that no one wants to read your writing. The truth is, we all want to read what you have to say. Sometimes, you just need to put finger to keyboard and produce something, anything to get the creative juices flowing. Glad you're back. I've missed you! OK, you have three fans.

(See? There's at least two of us. That's more than you thought!!) Keep writing. There's a feeling of accomplishment when things are written instead of just flowing aimlessly in the mind. Ten years or so ago I was where you are now. I was stuck in a suburb miles from where I wanted to be and I was isolated and unhappy, with a house full of toddlers. It's a long way (in every way) from where we are today. Miracles can happen... Still reading…… (See? There’s at least two of us. That’s more than you thought!!) Keep writing.

Being an incurable optimist I just blithely believe that one day I'll get back there. There is no substance to back up my naive plan, mind. Particularly in the money area. Just blind hope.
