Thank you, Paolo!

Great piece filled with such sage advice. Needed this today!

As I read, I really felt and acknowledged that I am in a transition between the putting off my dreams and desires I've had since youth, and now, taking action to allow them to be realized. Your post touches on all of these phases for me, as far as my writing goes, for sure. I so appreciate your suggestions and wisdom!

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

I'm happy you are here. Its easy when we are inspired, when we don't feel like it is where we are needed to act the most. I'm rooting for you. What are your specific next steps Wendy?

Thank you, Paolo! We can all benefit from positive people in our corner! I’m there for you as well! Definitely hear you on the ease of accomplishing while inspired, and the lag that can also occur when inspiration wanes. My next steps? Through this spring, I will be continuing to post and write, though my job is busiest this time of year. This summer, I will be gathering pieces to submit to poetry mags and also will be completing two books of poetry I have had ‘unfinished’ for years. Once they are done and polished, sending them off to anyone who might publish them. The end of my first year on Substack is approaching in June, and as for this space, I plan to nurture and grow my newsletter community, and dive more heavily into reading and supporting so many of the fabulous poets and writers here. In all of it, I plan to deep breath, take everything as it comes, and be open to go wherever things lead. In a nutshell….lol. Thank you, always, for your positive posts, your encouragement of all of us here, and for taking an interest in my journey. Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜
