Kathy, I don't know if it's possible to stop, but if I did, I would have more time for making quilts and for ministry, both of which it constantly hurts to say No to.Dorcashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050605764466835485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-37221089023027267882011-09-28T10:24:33.151-07:002011-09-28T10:24:33.151-07:00Just a thought or two to add to all the others'...Just a thought or two to add to all the others' comments: What would you do if you stopped?

I figured you were processing deep things. Follow your heart. If God asks you to stop writing, then stop. We all would be very sad. If God asks you to press on--do it and let your critics continue to criticize you. Maybe even learn from them. Just know that many of us will be cheering you on!!Dorcas Bylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-75271207311094364902011-09-27T21:48:42.274-07:002011-09-27T21:48:42.274-07:00Just so you know it again: We love your writing. ...Just so you know it again: We love your writing. If I could ever write 1/3 as well as you I would be supremely happy. (I know. Comparison-ugh.) But you do inspire me.<br /><br />4a: simply hysterical.

The Lord may not much care about orange pop on the ceiling, but us mere mortals can sympathize with the situation. If you have children, then something similar has happened in the past.
