I try to write every day and work on connecting with other readers and writers. Due to the hours and time my "day job" takes my writing time is limited. I like the idea of setting work hours for writing and maybe I will try that instead of writing when I have time. <br /><br />Best of luck and thanks for the uplifting words. :)<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-5840097266330369262013-09-07T08:55:21.997-04:002013-09-07T08:55:21.997-04:00Diane - very true!
