(Sally Franklin Christie is in charge tonight)
I have been combing my email for an interesting and informative blog post and instead found one that is probably more of a 'you can do it' moment.
Writer's Craft #108 Blaze your own trailOne terrific part of being a writer is the opportunity to blaze your own path. You get to decide where to go, what to focus on, and how fast or slow you want to travel. That's an amazing experience, or it can be. But when you are the one breaking trail, how do you know that you're heading in the right direction?

Here is a short bio of the writer of this post.. J.R. Johnson is a writer, cook, archer, social scientist, and unlicensed librarian. She finds fantasy and science fiction appealing because she likes the idea that there is more to the world than meets the eye, and that the human race has a future. She now lives in Ottawa, Ontario and on the web at jrjohnson.me .
J. R. Johnson ends her post with these words...
"How do you judge your progress? Whether you're a full-time accountant with a writing habit or a full-time writer with your own table at the local cafe, how do you know that you're on the right path?
"How would you describe your trail? Are you blazing it? Are you following it? Are you lost? Are you walking in circles? Are you afraid, intimidated, tired, running out of words?" Drop by the chatroom and share your writing journey, for the first hour. We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
