Hi Jamie,
I am not sure if you got your issue worked out with your blog or not…but I love your thoughts about why we write. Beautifully said-and funny, too. Not an easy combination to pull off.

@Lisa, ohmigosh yes! I hate that it’s sooo slow! But we’re patient… right? (You know, in that we’re TOTALLY not patient!)

Sometimes I think goals are more trouble than they’re worth. Writing because you love it seems like reason enough. I’m going to keep this in mind when I start to get frustrated with the glacial pace of publishing!

Only a non-writer would find that Plath quote nerdy lol. I’d tape it somewhere if I had room.
I don’t think you should feel bad about setting goals if you are having no trouble getting the words out. Written down goals only become necessary when you feel like you have to force yourself to write.
Great post, Jamie, and make sure to keep us updated on your publishing career!
