At any rate, we take things as we're able, eh? There are seasons when writing doesn't fit as well, and times when we can't stop because it's flowing so prolifically.

But eventually the "Play" button is pushed we we continue to write.<br /><br />I've been on "Pause" for quite some time, but I know that it is only for now. One day that "Play" button will be pushed and the writing will come.
