Wish you all the best and tons of prayers to go along with it. I look forward to that day when I would be lining up for a book signing queue --- yours! :-)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682310322367124297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-33190104032523712192011-10-20T11:07:40.126+08:002011-10-20T11:07:40.126+08:00Hello Ellen,
Very inspiring message. I need this ...Hello Ellen,<br /><br />Very inspiring message. I need this motivation. I want to write but I try to avoid racking my brain and sitting at the computer long hours thinking what to write. I have a burning desire to write but somehow I can't get to it. I give it up easily.<br /><br />So also, I always wanted to read as many books as possible. I bring books from the library and also buy books but I return the books back to the library without reading them and the books I bought are lying in my house unread and dust accumulated. The same thing with my writing. I tell myself I must write something and perhaps publish a book but I never get to it. Perhaps I am lazy, I only indulge in wishful thinking and live in a dream world. When it comes to practical application of mind and effort, I just don't have the will power and determination. I know this is a inherent weakness in me. I always want to take the easy way out. I have to change my mental make up, I have to discipline myself, I have to go through the tedium of thinking and writing a few hours every day. Here in come your words of motivation, nudging me to get down to my task or as you said the joy of writing because no one else will else will do it for me.<br /><br />Wish you all the best,<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-19559962746447310282011-10-20T09:56:21.738+08:002011-10-20T09:56:21.738+08:00I agree, Esther.

It passes and pretty soon you'll be back to your usual writing mode again. Great to see you today. Thanks for the lovely visit.
