My current draft is so much better and so much closer to how I want to write. Writing through illness gave me the strength and the sense of accomplishment I needed to write my best now. I never gave up, even though I thought of it, even if I did for a day or two, I kept going back. And, now I feel like I am back.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-61491353463359477502018-12-05T09:31:53.908-07:002018-12-05T09:31:53.908-07:00That's why small goals are so important.
