I didn't care if I was published. I just wanted to enjoy writing again. That was so freeing. Obviously, I'm back to writing for publication, but I'm enjoying it more. The break was just what I needed.

I've never written just for myself...I'm urged on by the idea that I'm producing for a readership. Making money was a side benefit-if it ever happened :-) Geesh, even as a golfer, I play better with a gallery and/or with the best players in my foursome. You have more of the self-contained/sustained artist in you, JL.
