I could just kiss you!

thank you so much - I'm glad you missed me, I missed you too, and thank you for your kind words.  I respect your talent so much that those words mean a lot to me

Thank you Pat

I guess it's easier to express things here with my old friends, who know me, as much as they can in this strange imperfect medium

I think Symph hit it, Wonder Twin.

This is a pretty good place to run to -- virtual reality as it is -- at least to express yourself without reservation.

besides that, we miss you around here. And whether a lot of people are reading you or not, you are being read. And you are good. Damned good.

the pendulum is swinging

and as you wrote this blog, it was at a low point. Hang on, it will soon swing up again. Keep your candle burning, and enjoy your light. :)

Thanks Symphony

I wonder though - my bloit burn out rate is getting faster and faster!

Maybe you are right Azur

maybe it's up to me to value it for what it is and stop looking for outside validation.

I don't know ArielI

I'm not sure this is the place either.  I'm feeling torn about what I need to do.

I found myself empty too......so I came "home" to blogit

but it took me some time...and I missed you all so much.

I hope you are feeling a bit better about yourself as you are a great writer...and everybody should be reading you....

I've been feeling like that for some time, MerryAnne.  If you look closely at Blogit, you will notice that there are fewer comments and newer writers making different cliques; apart from which, there seems to be a general malaise.  Azur's heading said it all 'Is it worth the effort to write'    I usually retreat into me until I figure out how much I  am worth.  Try reading some material you wrote years ago, and you will be astonished at how great your writing is.  I'll be here when you resurface.

I know it's of little use but I am reading you.
Maybe you need to step away from home so that people remember what they value.
