My writing seems so fallow these days. Limited by emotions, I seem to be one the verge of quitting, a step from the end. Yet from somewhere, I get some hope, a vocal shout of support, a silent touch on my shoulder telling me not to give up, inspiring me to go on. These little things mean so much. Without them, my life doesn’t seem to have much meaning.
Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
These words were tough and it seems we are all in the same mood when it comes to fallow. It is the little things that mean the most. 🙂 happy 3WW!
wow..you know i am on break at tslp na?kya kahun yaar…i am in same boat
Sometimes the ideas don't come. I find the best thing is not to think about them – experience other things. After all, no one writes without experiencing things. And soon ideas flow again.
good morning Leo,hope everything's fine with you these days, but i feel from your post, it seems you're not…you know son, there are moments in our life that we feel so low and more often than not, we're happy…but you know, they are just a test of our resilience in the things we really want doing in our life…so i must say, keep on Leo, we wouldn't want to be amiss with you!so many of us love and care for you, son!:)P.S. At last i was the one to make a point on your post, cheers!
Oh nooo…u can not quit…and plz dont quit..plz keep expressing and make us happy..:)
Keep plugging away at the writing. Don't let the "nay saying" demons get you down.

Encouragement is like inspiration, one can not live without it. I tried this prompt for the first time, and I was inspired by my grand baby howling vocal cords.Enjoyed the journey.

Hmm.. quitting isn't easy either .. this place is addictive isn't it? 🙂 you are doing well here.. keep at it ..
Thought of Edison when I read your post :-)"Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. "So, plzz don't give up. You're already doing a great job with your words. May be take a break 🙂
I've been feeling this same struggle with writing lately, so I can relate…like you, I won't give up and am just waiting it out. I hope you'll continue to hang in there!
Please don't think of quitting.I too have thought about it lately then someone writes something that is uplifting and although for me life at the moment is a little tough there is always someone somewhere worse off.I enjoy your post very much.Yvonne.
hey leo…what happened??hope all is fine??are you okie??I know something is wrong coz Leo and writing are inseparable..even if then that thought came to you that means u r disturbed..i don't know what it is..but I hope it goes fine soon and if you feel like sharing we are all here for you always!so plzzzz cheer up…everything will go fine and don't ever think about quitting..u have written well in the past ,you are writing very well in the present and u will only write better in the future…so chuck this thought out and get back to work..I want to read more and I haven't received my copy yet…so common now..you can write..write better than any body…and remember only you can outdo yourself..so I am waiting for a lot more so bring it on soon…and plzzz take care of yourself..and before you get your words back put your smile on!keep smiling!god bless you!
