- Go to Not In The Mood
I have always enjoyed reading your posts and can relate to the "not in a mood" you talk about. I agree with Kabu it would be a pleasure to read your earlier posts which we might have missed out on.

All the arts are connected of course and Glen Miller...who wouldn't enjoy listening. i ceratinly have never tired of any of the Big band music.
I will read anything you write because i have always enjoyed everyone of your posts. ever since i came here and compared to some of you greats I am still just a newbie ....oh and is it possible for you to repost anything from before 2007? or probably aafter that because a I wasn't here in the early years and one does forget what they enjoyed. These days I find that I can enjoy a book I read before, just like when I was a kid.

I like the idea of that connection very much, TAPS!
I recently went through a funk brought on by several factors and it zapped my writing desires. I found it again, I think, by virtue of a little, lone sunflower plant ready to bloom. Then again, maybe all creative leaning types wax and wane during their time; as long as the wax keeps flowing somewhere, we should be okay...:) I love reading your posts; you are an interesting and talented writer...

Perhaps you could do what your great niece did. Sorry I was only trying to help.
I'll tell you a secret Taps if I feel like that I go back and repeat what I said on here 5 years ago. You could probably go go back for years more. A lot of new folk and the older ones will have forgotten the article. Or you still have a lot to tell about your son who is reclaiming the lost land. Now I have got to think of something I wrote in 2011.

I have always found other people's writings more interesting then my own; well, okay, not everybody's, LOL, but there's definitely no scarcity! The result has always been that I end up reading rather than writing...And I certainly hope the urge will never leave you...

I am impressed with those who do read and comment when they are not posting. I think I would fall out of the habit of coming here.

Writing used to be an escape for me, a "time out" from the demands
of being mom, wife, jobholder, etc. It was a way to put the jigsaw of life's puzzle together and teach myself how things fit. But it was usually a frill, a craft relegated to "spare time." Only in the last few months have I come to think of it as my work, and not a pastime. Taps, your thoughtful, interesting, awe-inspired posts here on Blogit have helped me get to this understanding. Thank you. I hope the mood strikes you again soon.

Haha! Didn't realize my speakers were on so loud and make all the doggies bark when I clicked on your tune! Took them by surprise blasting out at 1:00 AM! So right about feeling awful when not writing. Then in my case feeling guilty when I do write because there is still so much work to do. Grateful that I can come in and keep reading.
