"That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.” —Brian Eno
Your writing is as beautiful as always even when you write about not writing. I’ve learned so much from you that’s helped me (nearly) come to the finish line for publication of my first nonfiction book in November 2026.
Thanks, dear, and can’t wait for YOUR book!!!
Pub date 11/4/26. Exciting times. FIrst patient-author with Mayo Clinic Press.
I wrote a blog for 16 years every day with about 5000 dedicated readers monthly.
BUT I never wrote for them. I kind of had a subject when I sat down to write but from day 1 I never expected anyone to read it.
It was a great and freeing adventure! I stopped writing when I felt I had nothing left to say, three years ago when I turned 80!
I bet you still have a LOT to say, Barbara! Thanks for your comment, and for reading.
I want to heart this post 1000 times! 💛
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Laura, thank you. It's such a gift when writers write about writing.
“…write the book I want to write, the way I want to write it.” Love that! Where’s the pre-order web page? 🙂
