We are often so ready to give up on what we write in that moment when we feel it is not good enough. I believe we have a story to tell and sometimes it waits until the right moment to appear. I loved that you found what you wanted by going to other places. And that is important. Not to give up but to seek inspiration from other sources. And yes. Sometimes we don't abandon, we put it away for the right time. Thank you for this wonderful post. I thoroughly enjoyed and it gave me hope. Happy Writing. 💖
Dot, this is such a beautiful, refreshing, and incredibly comforting read. That final twist—'It is the right story to tell, I’m just not ready to tell it today'—is an act of profound creative wisdom. We so often force ourselves to push through the resistance, forgetting that some stories need to cure and breathe before they are ready for the page. Thank you for normalizing the decision to hit 'save' and walk away with a smile instead of a sigh.
Dot, you’re very welcome. It really did stay with me. I loved the gentleness of it — the way you honored the story without forcing it before its time. That felt like such a kind and wise reminder for anyone who writes. I’m glad I got to read it.

Thank you, Brenda. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Here is to more stories we tell, when we're ready.
