forge write on ahead

[sanibel]

I haven't posted here for some time, life delivered a couple of blindsides recently which dictate new approaches and strategies are needed. So here am I going backwards, to something I hope might propel me forward once again.

I have had a couple of things published and am 2/3rds of the way through a novel which I started several years ago and which an agent has voiced interest in. My husband died a couple of months ago, and in trying to come to terms with this I am now determined to finish the 'book' to fulfill the promise I made to him that I would.

I see a few familiar faces on the boards, and of course lot's of new ones too which is always great to see.

I guess I just wanted to say hello, and hope to be communicating with you all on a more regular basis quite soon.

Welcome back to writing and to the MWC.

[Laura H]

I'm so sorry to ear of your loss, Sanibel. I hope you find the writing therapeutic.

My condolences Sanibel.

Focusing on your novel sounds like a good way of coming to terms with what has happened. Wishing you much success with it.

Hi, sorry to hear about your sad news.

You won't find a better place than here to help fulfil your promise.

[JewelAS53]

So sorry, Sanibel.

Hope the writing helps you put all things into perspective.

It's always great to see missing members back again. So many RL things can interrupt our writing and - thankfully most of the time it waits for us until we're ready to pick it up again.

I'm glad you found your way back here. Stay strong.

Welcome back. I can't remember if I know you (its the meds I'm on) But just wanted to say, 'good for you for picking yourself up and getting on'. See you 'out there'. Bri.

Hi Sanibel, I'm one of the newbies to you. Just wanted to say hello and wish you success in fulfilling your promise.

[Laura H]

And I can't help asking, do you live on Sanibel Island? My sister lived there years ago.

[sanibel]

 Laura, I don't live on Sanibel island I only wish I did, but this and neighbouring Captiva island was a favourite place of mine and my husbands, and has a very special place in my heart. I hope one day to be brave enough to go back.

My condolences. I hope your book reaps much success. Your husband would be proud.

[sallyj]

Best wishes, Sanibel. I hope immersing yourself in writing helps with the grief. I know it won't be easy for you.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts they are much appreciated.

Had a really good day today, actually sat and wrote for a few hours getting a few plot problems under control. Tomorrow? Editing the rubbish I wrote today probably!
