I know, blogging can be such a pleasure and yet sometimes a pain because I hate not having internet like before and the library doesn't revolve around my work schedule--haha!<br /><br />I have to say the positive reads keep me going. I love how everyone shares their doubts/joys of writing and day to day lives. It's magical to see so many people connect over something so little like a blog page.<br /><br />On the other hand, loved how you mentioned voice!
