We all write at different speeds. I kept beating myself up for not writing fast enough, because I saw so much productivity in other people, but then people started telling me I was more productive than them, and feeling the same way I felt about others, and I realized it was all relative.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-77278935829170830052016-07-07T22:04:54.677-07:002016-07-07T22:04:54.677-07:00I know I sometimes feel I should be writing more, ...I know I sometimes feel I should be writing more, writing faster, producing more. But, that would likely take all the fun out of it for me. Its hard not to compare our productivity, styles, choices; but just mires a writer in useless energy depletion.

Wow, that's beautiful! You should be proud!<br />I too suffer from the time issue. I love the writing process, the creation. When the story flows from the pen there is nothing better. The rest of it, not so much, it's time consuming and takes away from all the pleasure. I'm actually thinking of walking away to just write. It is where the joy is, the rest I abhor!
