I may have to try following along with that. That would achieve two goals – learning to write better and reading more often (to grow vocabulary, improve writing style, etc).<br /><br />As to the one weird thing I would grab from my burning house? Umm… I can't think of anything. Maybe a warm blanket. I love warm blankets. :)Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-49262032104545545322018-01-03T14:48:06.550-05:002018-01-03T14:48:06.550-05:00Happy New Year, Nas!

I'm just so glad you're feeling easier ... and enjoy your writing ... and thanks for being here and what you do with IWSG - helps us all .. cheers and all the very best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-61445988881566496032017-12-13T15:07:46.065-05:002017-12-13T15:07:46.065-05:00Things are looking better.

(Well, we can, but what would be the point, other than to make us feel worse?)<br /><br />I also struggled with depression this year, after the end of my eight-year relationship and other related heartbreak. Which resulted in my first ever experience with writer's block. I not only couldn't write, I hated my book with a passion. So while it would be awesome if I'd been more productive this summer, I've decided to go easy on myself and be thankful that book got written at all.<br /><br />Hugs to you. Hope 2018 is a better year for both of us.J.H.
