Hi all -- After all the crabbing I've done on these forums, about wanting personal relationships -- now that I'm seeing results, I'm so busy, I can't always respond in the way I think is right!
I've PM'ed and gone to chat (well, at least 2ce), and did my best to be a good member of the community, responding when people posted just to show interest and support. Now I have a big freelance assignment on a very tight deadline. So I've got to crank out a lot of work in a short time. I've been using the forums and emails as a way to indulge my writing jones -- and now that people are finally getting to know me -- I'm less available. And boy do I recognize this pattern. This is exactly what happened in the life that went all to heck in 2003. I devoted myself to work, beloved, dogs, homes, in exactly that order. Let longstanding friendships go to pot and didn't cultivate new ones. So when I lost all four of the things I valued, there I was all alone -- with no one to support me. Hmm, I guess I better pay attention to my own object lesson -- and try to create a balance between work and the rest of my needs. So much of my identity is wrapped up with my writing. Too much. Who am I without it? At any rate, if I'm less present for anyone, this is why.

We'll be here  That's what's so great about these forums. You can come and go and no one forgets who you are or resents you for not posting more. Go do your job, we'll be here when you get back  Take Care of yourself. Kimberly. |
