What wonderful writing tips! I never have trouble with the 1st … beginning is simple. Getting out of my own way and setting deadlines are different matters entirely … especially now that I’m ‘happily retired’ and basically accountable to no one but myself. It was so much simpler to ‘do what was ‘required’ … so much more challenging to be true to myself. Thanks for sharing.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-38584142737511885262008-02-26T06:18:00.000-08:002008-02-26T06:18:00.000-08:00'Begin' is so basic, yet so fundamental.

Believe me, so many of us would like to be where you are in your career, even though I know you probably have so much more you want to accomplish. That's the case with all of us, huh?Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-73596308136845458022008-02-21T10:39:00.000-08:002008-02-21T10:39:00.000-08:00Destiny encoded in our souls!

I think artists and writers face the same fears and roadblocks because we are both sharing so much of our souls.<BR/>Interestingly enough, I'm actually in the process of painting an angel right now.
