Excellent post and great writing advice. Maybe the true joy of writing is like the sun behind the clouds. The sun hasn't completely disappeared. You just have to find it again. This is from a sign out in front of a famous restaurant in Texas named Arroyo. It talks about hope. But it could also be about the true joy of writing. Thanks for another great post.
This is so refeshing. Emancipating yourself from your past can be painful, but it’s necessary — and liberating. If there’s too much baggage, there’s no room for anything new.
A few more thoughts. Your writing post and Cali weather mention bring to mind Jimmy Cliff singing, "I can see clearly now" (in the writer's perception sense). After the rain stops. After the obstacles (baggage) go away and the dark clouds (disappointments) that blind leave, all the previously suddenly lost excellent writing possibilities can return or entirely unexpected ones can occur. A brand new writing day. This post and it's twin, the one on patience and others can make an awesome future small paperback booklet.
Thought-provoking post. I agree—the past only has the power that we give it. We do not want to live in the past or act on the past. Consciously release this abggage.

Thank you, Michelle. This is a post worth reading multiple times if that is what it takes. It's the proverbial first step.
