I'm currently revising my manuscript, changing it from 3rd person to 1st, and that means adding words that weren't there before, so I believe I'm writing. lol I've also noticed a lot of us go through lulls at the same time, which is great to see, despite how depressing it can be. :)<br /><br />Thanks for co-hosting and stopping by!Debra Renée Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08717966370332027353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413636466483236943.post-61602218961112748052016-09-12T02:46:52.792+01:002016-09-12T02:46:52.792+01:00I agree with the others who say you've had the...I agree with the others who say you've had the perfect excuse not to write. ^_^ Hope you get back into the swing of things with ease.Mason T.

That's a big step and naturally you need to devote a lot of time to your significant other. I've been married for 34 years and yes, it felt like we married yesterday. <br /><br />Writing 500 words a month is a goal. Setting goals is important. I'm sure the writing bug will strike and light up your world. Good luck.<br />NancyN. R.
