“What aspiring writers need to begin and continue writing is unconditional acceptance of their desire to write. And they need to honor that desire. Aspiring writers must understand that if you want to write for an audience, learning to write, just like learning anything else, takes time and that we must be realistic and patient with ourselves while we’re learning.” ~ Louise DeSalvo, Writing as a Way of Healing

    Vicki, this is one of the greatest lessons a writer can learn. For me, to write is akin to breathing. I need it as much as air. And it is such a joy when I discover someone breathes the same air as I from the space in which I breathe.

    Still keeping you in my heart. selahV
