  Linda Phoenix My Mom passed away a few weeks ago. A few days later my Brother in Law passed away too. My heart is heavy and I don't know how to move forward. Forgive me, but I'm not sure I can be here right now.

  Linda Phoenix My book is taking a back seat to family issues and work. So far back, it's in a bus far behind me. But words cannot be stilled in my soul. I crave the writing. The words leach out grasping whatever is close.

I'm putting pressure on myself that isn't necessary. Because of this I have actually pulled back from writing. Defying myself. My own worst enemy. Think I need to have a talk with myself!!!

However, earning a living takes priority I have no idea if it's possible for me to earn enough from writing. Especially since I have not yet published anything. And my current job takes about 50-60 hours a week.
  Is it possible for some to earn enough? Yes it is. However, statistics show that a mere single digit percentage of writers earn enough to make it their full time career. I sincerely hope you are one of those.

  I started on paper with black ink. Moved to an Ipad. Always carry notebook with me since ideas come at the oddest times. I have a dozen or so of the spiral bound colored index cards. Take them with me when I'm on a plane.

Laying it upon your chest as you imagine being in that time and place. There are specific authors whose books I will always buy in paper. Others that are a whim or for research are fine in ebook.
