Hey all,
So the people have spoken, the votes have been tabulated, and whatever “manopause” I was going through must of has ran its course, because I am back slapping keys. Thank you in every language because you awesome men and women have overwhelmingly convinced me that I should continue this journey of mine and keep on writing. Started to get a little fuzzy there, going through a phase I guess, I was at a blogging low and needed a pick me up. Fist pump to my fellow bloggers who chimed in with your comments and support, all your props helped keep me from throwing in the towel, trust me.
I’m sorry as I probably sound like a broken record by now, wrote a bunch about this, but once again I admit, writing is tough. It takes dedication, loads of your time and creativity steroids. I threw out my lure looking for a thought or two, maybe some convincing feedback, and ultimately an answer to my query. I got all of the above, thanks for pulling me back in and helping me through a growing pain of becoming a blogger. None of this would be possible without you, and without the blast of followers I have gotten since that post.
Those of you out there that are going through the same creative tug-of-war as I just did, let me say this, don’t give up, take some time, cool off, reevaluate. This medium can sometimes become all consuming, that’s when we need to take a step back and get reacquainted with made us start all this in the first place. I started because I love writing, I can’t forget that because when I do, I start to hits walls creatively. During that process though, it’s pretty awesome and reassuring knowing your readers have your back. I foresee 2018 as another great year for Earth to Ash, I have taken notes and I’m getting excited to see what comes next. I’m always looking for new ways to keep you all entertained forever trying to Russel up stories….sorry it was right there.
OK, OK, enough out me for now, so…to recap, I am here to write another day, you should never give up on your dreams, Matt Lauer got fired…. and alllll of you are awesome.
Until…
The things that happen when I fall off the face of the internet for a month!! Glory be! I’m sorry I couldn’t lend my voice until now! I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your choices, and with your drive to stick to writing! I kind of had that lurch in my stomach when I read your post about you not wanting to write anymore, and then I scrolled up and found your most recent post!! Yes!
I’ve been burning through the same experience, except with struggling between staying in school or pursuing writing as a career. It’s a terrifying leap. But I am glad to see that you still want to write! Keep it up, and know I thoroughly enjoy your blog!

Hey bud, thanks for saying this my friend. Had a moment there I guess lol, but shook all that off and realize that it’s too important to me to leave behind. I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad to have you as a reader and a friend. Keep on your path as a writer as well and we’ll get there…I firmly believe that.
