I still need to actually read your posted fanfic! I'll try to sometime later when I don't have a massive headache.

Oh, that sounds like an interesting tea blend! I've never tried that before. Yesterday I got some really fancy loose leaf green tea with cherry, but I have to use it sparingly because it was 10 dollars for one ounce! Gotta find a decently special occasion for it.

There's nothing to do at work and I have to be in the office for 2 more hours, so I'm going to see how much I can write till then!

Good advice, Ent! I do have rather a bad habit of setting overly ambitious goals for myself, not completing all of it, and then feeling bad even though I got a lot done. Thanks for the encouragement, and good luck getting back into your writing routine as well!

TO THE WRITERS OF TTF:

The road goes ever on and on. We'd like to sit and write each day,
but ever life sees so much happen, seems we're thwarted every way.

Yet we must make space, place and time to find the ways to move along,
banishing all those distractions; letting them rule would just be wrong.

Intentional we all must be in working toward our final goal
and breathing life into our work, insuring it reveals our soul.

Along the way let's not forget our fellow writers, working too,
cheering all to keep on going, encouraging to make it through.

Our writing is no easy task, though so much joy it always brings
our help to one another may insure the work gets done, and sings.

The road goes ever on and on; when at its end the day is won,
we'll review the pathway taken, thankful because of the great run.

I'm so glad to see you all continuing to encourage one another and keep each other posted.
Have a great vacation @Aredhel Ar-Feiniel and thanks for writing, @Maedhros_Nelyafinwë.

I'm busily editing away on the new book of course, but realized I need to add one more book to my list of projects... an essential one, but of an entirely different nature.

In my 'quiet time' this morning, I was given this realization (revelation) regarding 'purpose' in writing as I continue to struggle a little over "why, what, and how" to write among the array of stuff before me...
.........................
"There is no Kingdom need or value in working to push more content(s) into a bag already containing all the 'right stuff' for the feeding of the people -- though there is often significant need to help them learn about its preparation for consumption.

There is great need, however, to push more into a bag still absent essential foods."
.........................
Was given me as I pondered and held up in prayer issues of 'why' Tolkien and Lewis wrote, in the arenas they wrote, and for what purposes.

It came along with the need for the additional book.
