You know, I really do...You went to bed really late!<br />You know, I really do think out best writing comes from a rested soul. I don't think you need to blog every day. We can only give what we have, and when we are empty, we cannot really give at all. Thanks for that reminder!Ellen Stumbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883373231740515881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-73487794419283234512012-06-07T14:33:39.208-05:002012-06-07T14:33:39.208-05:00Hope you keep that up!

I think my problem is that I am a night owl and that is the only time I really have "unlimited time" to write. Unfortunately, I also use that time to check e-mail, facebook, blogs, etc.Ellen Stumbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883373231740515881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-57457134590426147072012-06-07T14:31:04.874-05:002012-06-07T14:31:04.874-05:00Did you click on the link or on the previous post ...Did you click on the link or on the previous post I had? It is not always a writing challenge for your blog, but think of it as little lessons to learn more about the craft of writing.

I was up way to late. I don't think I made it to bed until 5am. So, I am not sure if that disqualifies me for the challenge or not. But anyhow, I hear what you are saying here. <br /><br />I pulled back this month on writing as many blog posts. It doesn't mean I wills stop writing, just that in all the pouring out, I feel like I am left on empty sometimes. It is giving me some breathing room. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing! I'll be seeing you :)Michele-Lyn https://www.blogger.com/profile/06586393878379789925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-54807741444392695582012-06-06T23:14:23.521-05:002012-06-06T23:14:23.521-05:00I can relate, i'm so into social media that so...I can relate, i'm so into social media that sometimes i forget i have more important things to do.<br />But yes like you, im going to take my life back..

I, too, was shocked when I read the challenge two get up two hours earlier to write! It's only for one morning, so I decided to play along.<br /><br />What I really wanted to say was your comment about taking your life back resonated with me. There are so many pulls to live outside our limits and taking control of the things we can control will make those things we can't easier to handle, don't you think?<br /><br />Well...guess I better get to bed alittle earlier tonight. Sleep well. :-)Calistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372690042912769080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-25126390296116614102012-06-06T18:26:21.543-05:002012-06-06T18:26:21.543-05:00This is such a good point.

Though I would love to find out more about the writing challenge you had started:) Visiting from www.toshowthemjesus.comChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750650858915406868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-47149103343670833572012-06-06T16:32:09.730-05:002012-06-06T16:32:09.730-05:00My thoughts are...

When I read that I thought.. umm, not me!<br /><br />I will make it a point to write more during the day, during my non existent down time. <br /><br />I think I'll do more like set a word count goal. we already write daily, mostly, for our blogs. <br /><br />Thank you for all of your encouragement. I was pleased to see you with the same reaction I had today :)Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554436031505625556noreply@blogger.com
