You are brave to go outside the comfort zone into that uncomfortable place. Your comments spur me to action today, so thank you! Wishing you many happy experiences exploring in 2010…

It reminds me of “Start by starting”, one of my mantras. Thanks for the inspiring comment about your first columnist’s conference — I am going to my first one in April!

I like it! And I am back from Rome and able to approve my comments!
Those are words to live by. Thanks for your visit.

I spent 2009 floundering, searching for what I could do best, and that’s still an ongoing process. I plan to step out of my comfort zones this year in an effort to find my writing self. Some of the things I’m doing don’t sound like they’d have anything to do with writing, but they really do. Traveling to downtown Chicago alone to see one of my favorite authors read at a library. No way I’d have done that before. Alone? Downtown in the third largest city in the nation? After dark? Not me! But I did it – and because I did – I got ideas for a new character as I witnessed the homeless people sleeping on benches and steps, and panhandling outside the businesses in Union Station. Up next? Attending a storytelling event in a coffee shop this afternoon – and going to see another successful author read from his works later this month – who writes in genres I’m not really a fan of. Outside the comfort zone.

I went, I listened and made great connections, Joanie

And I enjoy your blog so much as well. Keep finding the time to write (the cobwebs can wait)…

So glad you blog as i love to read it. Thanks for your recent comment on mine :)

I love Ali’s blog as well. It inspires me in the sense that creativity begets creativity.
