Maggie Toussant — both of your messages ended up in the spam que and I thought I caught them and put them here but apparently not. So sorry. Try again.

Jan:
I agree with you. I want to do the best writing I can. But it’s really nice when someone emails you and tells you they absolutely loved your book. It doesn’t hurt.

I’d love to learn to ride. I envy you the opportunity.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! I’ve gotten to know some of you off line who weren’t already friends. Elaine, I didn’t know you ride horses!

Jan, Thanks for the great post. I love how writing can fit into the everyday things we experience and enjoy!

So well said, Jan. You remind me to stick my nose in my gelding’s coat this evening when I go to feed. And that things change. I rode for many years, now I am selling my gelding and turning to other pursuits. I am, though, the same woman seeking to learn and grow and experience life.

Jan, unlike the others, I’ve tried riding and it freaked me out! I took a week long riding vacation on Arabian horses that leapt and did all sorts of things I didn’t want to do! Not my cup of tea! I guess I don’t find it anything like riding, although I can appreciate your experience and your blogging about that. I found writing to be a natural expression for me, the flow easy and no fear. Whereas with horses, Eek! I do see that practice is the thing though -having only been writing for six years, there’s so much more to learn and keep learning. In that respect, I can see the analogy – good blog – interesting ideas –

Wow Jan! I didn’t know you could ride. It is freeing, isn’t it. I haven’t been in awhile but I should. My sister is a Vet for large animals and she is trying to get me back on a horse again. Great post. What a terrific comparison.

Jan,

Lovely post. You are a testament to perseverence and you’ve long been an inspiration to me. The learning process is neverending and I’ve always admired your can-do spirit in both riding and writing.

Jan,

What a wonderful connection between riding and writing. Thanks for the insight. I think all the process is never-ending. We can ALWAYS be better at our craft. Thanks for the reminder!
