I'm in Minneapoli...Heather;<BR/><BR/>My name is Beth Hawkins. I'm in Minneapolis. Last May, after 20-some years of being a salaried writer various places I quit. For a variety of reasons--creative stagnation not the least of them. I've been freelancing ever since. My first few months were all about getting enough work lined up. Funny thing the human mind, because as soon as my calendar filled, I found myself on what sounds like pretty much the roller-coaster you're addressing with your genius blog. I can relate to pretty much every post--from feeling like turning in a piece that's not perfect will spell the end with a client, to the difficulty of building in time for essentials like exercise. <BR/><BR/>But I'm getting long-winded. What I really wanted to say was that I found your blog on a day when there were so many gremlins of self-doubt loose in my psyche I had worried myself into a hole. Your reassuring thoughts on the topic totally hit home. Just knowing someone else grapples with the same thing really made an immediate difference. I sent your URL to a friend who also struggles in her search for serenity.<BR/><BR/>So, thank you for taking the time to craft such eloquent entries. Rest assured, I'll check back often.Beth Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187624280194095930noreply@blogger.com
