Your observation that the hard parts in a book also indicate something about the writer--a place where there's some kind of psychological resistance--speaks to me now, as I get back to a difficult book.

And here we are a few days from the solstice, the even balance between light and dark--a good time to think about life balance, I guess. So glad you wrote.

I've been kind of dreading this post about my goals - I'm not a new year's resolutions type of person, and yet I have such unspoken high expectations of myself...But your blog post hits the mark. Optimistic, but also giving yourself a break. I especially like "Life is a balance. Writing is part of it." Well said.Alisa M.
