I wish I could say it was an uncommon one, but I don't think that's the case. The most important thing is your relationship with and to your writing. You have the power to navigate that one. Make it worth it! :-)<br /><br />All best,<br />LaraineLaraine Herringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890043873658222111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153414249560751405.post-64217344958961807212011-08-25T12:24:34.753-07:002011-08-25T12:24:34.753-07:00Dear Laraine,

I don't normally post responses but I just had to thank you for writing The Writing Warrior. I found it this summer at Borders, I will miss the store too, and I have to say that your influence has done me so much good. I was published in 2002 by a non credible publisher and the result nearly forced me to give up on writing completely. I managed to get back in the saddle and have been at the craft along with reading and studying and all the rest for a few years now. <br />I have found that writing is in my blood, though sometimes more like a virus than joy, but still it is something I cannot give up. While reading the Writing Warrior I deceded to write my memoirs and the purging which has been done is soul cleansing. I still have those days, but at least now I know where I belong and where I find the most joy. <br /><br />Thank-you ever so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336380691144668567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153414249560751405.post-26365414142153601612011-04-28T08:03:53.232-07:002011-04-28T08:03:53.232-07:00Dear Joy, Thank you so much for your note.

You inspire me to greatness! <br /><br />I just wrote a post about how your book has affected me. Out of respect, I also linked the post to your site and your name to you bio. I just want to say thank you.<br /><br />I am just a mom with a bunch of kids who has lived a hard, yet joyous life and has something to say. My lack of professional writing education often intimidates me, but you have unleashed my creative inner being.<br /><br />Thank you. From my heart to yours, Joy NelsonCandid Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071324847534494667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153414249560751405.post-67339611572953988602011-04-11T21:13:45.474-07:002011-04-11T21:13:45.474-07:00What a fabulous, inspiring post!

By the time I finish I've lost the nuances of the writer's technical skill.<br /><br />Going to retweet this!<br /><a href="http://judycroome.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Judy (South Africa)</a>Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.com
