I had conflicts and had to miss the Lark & Owl session the other day, but I hope to make it to one in the future! I might bring a friend. "Exerting oneself" is perfect advice to regain sanity. A counselor friend says, "Depression in an active mind in an inactive body." I often think of his words when I get out for a walk, or seek to tidy a corner. This damp, chilly weather makes walks less appealing, so there's more tidying to be done!
Thanks for this - so true. "I have come away from these initial meetings feeling less crazy and more inspired to keep up my own writing practice" - amen to that!
I'm always happy to see a new piece from you. This one is certainly apt for many writers. Best wishes and thanks for the nice insight. Also, I love that you are looking for wonderful paragraphs.

Being a person who works from home I can relate to this. It is so good to join with like-minded individuals at Lark and Owl to work on writing. The exertion of writing certainly helps to keep me somewhat sane. Thanks for doing these little workshops.

I’ve never been able to get these WORDS out of my mind: “The horror. The horror.”
OMG... lowering medicine... love. Thank you for your words, Beth, and for reminding us of the words of others.
