This is one of the most meaningful things anyone has ever said to me through my work, so thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson - my own family has had more than its fair share of cancer struggles and I know how it feels to need your writing but lose sight of it when it matters most. I think it's honestly part of the creative journey. These ups and downs are a bit of a torrid love affair, for most of us, but we can grow a beautiful, lifelong relationship from that foundation once our style and voice matures. Best of luck to you on your journey, Belinda, and keep your chin up and your passion strong!
