I love this system of loving accountability, as well as the notion that our best friends, our passion projects, and pieces of our purpose might still lie ahead, half dreamed, unknown. Makes me hopeful that there may always be magic to come ✨

Excellent. As a writer, editor, proof reader for a publishing company, psychologically to me writing is work. Therefore I don’t often do any serious writing now that I am retired. I have now given up being freelance too, so even keeping a diary for me seems impossible. It’s not that I don’t like writing, I do once I’ve done it, but I definitely lack discipline so an arrangement like yours is just genius. Well done to both of you.

I can relate completely! If you can find an accountability partner who truly cares about you and what fulfilling your creative needs means to you, I highly recommend that path. It makes such a difference.

Jill. You remain such an example. Also this: "I unclipped the fear and loneliness from my shoulders and draped them across a chair, settling into 1870s Boston with a sigh of relief. I had somewhere else to go. Someone to meet"

FULL BODY CHILLS.

You are a remarkable writer Jill. Never forget this.
