June's question - If you ever did stop writing, what would you replace it with?

Well, I have to admit that I have stopped writing, and in the middle of a story, too! It had an outline and everything and I'm a pantser. *sigh*

I'll tell you what I've replaced it with, and it's self-care. There's no creative outlet right now, but I've been filling my life with meaningful relationships and strengthening the ones I already have. It's quite the remarkable journey.

I know that when I'm ready to pick back up on my writing, there'll be no stopping, because I already  know what it takes to get a book off the ground.


What about you? Has writing ever evaded you to the point that you lost interest? What replaced it? If no, what do you think would?

Focusing on self-care and relationships is important. Your writing will be there for you when you're ready.

Sometimes feeding our soul is more important than writing.

Hi, Natalie! Thank you for stopping by and commenting. You're right! My writing has always been a part of me and I know it will come when I'm ready. Thank you!

Hi, Alex! So true! Sometimes writing does feed the soul, but with instances like these, it can step back for a while. :)
