Thank you for commenting! I enjoyed your responses as well, and I can relate to how difficult it is to be consistent without a posting schedule. I’m hoping to get back to a once a week posting routine!

Nancy,
I had no idea you were dealing with a herniated disc as well. It is such a frustrating injury. How are you doing with it?

I’m happy to be making more progress this week and grateful to have less pain and stiffness. Thank you so much for including me in your blogging challenge! I have enjoyed reading and commenting on many of the posts.

Take care,
Jennifer

Ilene,
You comments made me smile! Thank you so much for your encouragement!! I will plan an audio version as well because I know that there are many who prefer that format.

It is such a challenging decision to figure out how to publish. I’m still in the editing phase– which takes a long time– and haven’t yet figured out a publishing plan. I’m hoping that you can find the energy to get your work to publication. Self-publishing is likely a quicker process than traditional publishing. Nancy has a great post on self-publishing on her blog. I have also found several excellent editors to work with on the Reedsy platform.

I am sending you my warmest thoughts as you are dealing with so many emotions.

Warmly,
Jennifer

I am totally stealing blog links great idea and one that should be handy including links to resources and other blogs. I loved all your tips actually- I use grammarly but find it a little intrusive so turn it off when writing more creatively or poetry.

Your book will be amazing undoubtedly and I look forward to reading it and hope you’ll consider an audio version, too. I’m currently on the fence if I should self publish or find a publisher for my poetry book and plan a rename but same – same blog new name better structure come the end of 2021 I hope or close in 2022 – but I worry about time – my mortality as well as hours in the day and my recent terrible bouts of grief and insomnia aren’t helping much.

But you’re brave and your family is as handsome as you are beautiful inside and out.

much love,
ilene

I’m so happy you decided to participate in my summer blogging challenge. It’s a nice change of pace to take a little time and reflect on the blogging process. Plus, it’s fun to potentially meet some new bloggers and readers and share some tips too. I learned lots more about you. I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with the herniated disc, pain, slow-to-happen diagnosis and everything else that comes with that. Hope you’re doing lots better.

I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming book. I look forward to reading it.

Thanks again for participating and happy blog hopping! Keep writing. x
