I'm in-between books; one is out making the rounds and another is not even a fetus yet. So, I went back to re-read what you wrote here. Thanks! It helped.

Thank You For This. As I was reading I couldn't help but say - YES. It's scary standing in that purgatory between potential and hopeless. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

I write professionally, but not in a meaningful way. I write content for the public. It exercises my brain absolutely, but it's not the kind of writing that I do for me. I've only just discovered how meaningful writing can be for ME. All that it has to offer and how it can help me find myself. Like you say, I write to put words to thoughts and feelings, to better understand myself and reflect on ideas that are important to me. I'm not sure why it took me so long to discover how much it had to offer. I've dabbled with it in the past. I suppose I was ripe for it now. It was time. Anyway, this long comment is meant to say that I understand what you mean. Professional or amateur, for those of us who do it for these reasons, it provides an important outlet.

Oh yes, Dani. You have so captured what it's like. And, by the way, I love the youtube video of Devotion. Having read and loved your memoir, it captures beautifully what you did with the book.
Blessings,
