Well worded. Your experience brings to mind the words of another writer, Pam Munoz Ryan, who in her middle grade novel, Echo, says, "Your fate is not sealed. Even in the darkest night, a star will shine, a bell will chime, a path will be revealed." May God reveal the path.
Shawn, as long as you have the ability to create and share stories, keep on writing. Unfortunately, following a lengthy surgery forcing too much anesthesia in March 2019, my husband pointed out to my surgeon at my first post-op appointment that he felt he had brought home the wrong wife. Now in 2022 some of the reasons for that statement still ring true. All my creativity seems to have disappeared. Nothing I enjoyed in the past motivates me whether it's writing, music, quilting and needlework, homemaking, etc. I keep hoping something will turn that button on again, that creativity button. Keep writing, Shawn, please! God has blessed you with the gift of storytelling.
Sherry, thank you so much for this note. And I'm sorry to hear about your situation--I, too, hope something will flip the switch for you, hopefully soon. In the meantime, keep living, so that when the desire returns, you will have a deep well to draw from. Again, thanks for taking the time to share this with me. All the best.

Thank you, Meadow.

Yes. Keep writing. Definitely, keep writing.
And we love "Saint Katie" as well. She's a magician!
So glad you have "kept on being...", love your work!
Keep rolling, man. Love what you’re doing.
Thanks, Seth. You know the feeling's mutual.
Beautiful, Shawn. Thank you.
Thanks, Abby. Keep writing!
Just love this.
Thanks, Tatiana. Honored to have a front row seat to your own writing journey.
I love this, Shawn. Also, we’re so lucky your intentions have continuously been unmet.
Well, that's very kind of you to say :) Thanks, Beka.
A share-er supreme. Thanks.
Thank you, Jim.
