Everybody's path is different. Wanting another person's path will never give us what will make us happy. Forging your own is always worth it. Great post, Sara. I'm rooting for you!Michelle D.

Truly. It's a tough road we are choosing to walk -- and one that might take us where we want to go, or might not -- but either way it almost never gets us there the way we expect. Posts like this remind us that we *can* persevere. Hopefully the comments remind you that you don't have to walk it alone, either. :)Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-90410962847603022322012-09-26T07:59:02.272-07:002012-09-26T07:59:02.272-07:00Yes...yes I have.

Thanks for writing it. Yo...Really great post, Sara. Thanks for writing it. You are determined. You are talented. It's going to work out. The trick is to be happy with what you are doing now.<br /><br />I've felt like giving up writing many times but can't. So as Janet up there said, I've come 'round to writing for me. I'll still pursue publishing, but I have to be okay with writing for me now. And actually, I'm writing for my kids. They read it and love it, and that's good enough on most days. If nothing else, I've got a writing legacy for my children.<br /><br />You're great. You'll get there.<br />Janiel Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602421917187944457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-63494650873725089042012-09-25T14:18:08.070-07:002012-09-25T14:18:08.070-07:00What an incredible post.

I couldn't do anything else but this. Trying, writing, dreaming. Without it, what's left? (for me, anyway) You really are an incredible writer, and I'm SO SO glad you didn't put it behind you, and look forward to buying you off the shelves one of these days. It will happen. I know it will for you. <br /><br />Thank you for writing this post, being honest when it's so hard. But really, people need to know they aren't alone. You're not, and the people reading this in the same boat, or that will come upon the same thing will read and remember and hopefully be inspired by you.

We spend years putting our souls into a work that may never see the light of day, and it eats at us all. the. time. I would never look down on anyone for choosing to walk away.<br /><br />I have had moments, perhaps not as intense, but I realized that I'd never be able to stay away. It would always eat at me. I'd always be itching to write something. So I decided to be content with writing for me. Writing with no deadlines (other than personal ones). Writing for pleasure. I'm not there yet, but I'm in it for the long haul. <br /><br />Cheers to you for your decision.

I'm glad to hear you have a new project to motivate you and get you going again!
