Are You Still Writing?


by Ginny Cruz, MPA, PT

Recently, a friend asked me that question. Since I signed a book contract a few years ago, friends and associates have wondered when the book will be in stores. The publication has been pushed to a future date twice, so it is normal for folks to wonder what I am doing in the meantime. Hence, the question, “Are you still writing?”

Writers write—it is what we do. We pen books, articles, devotions, or shopping lists on paper. Words are our superpower, and we love spending time with them. But I must admit, my friend's question made me pause and reflect on my writing journey. If you feel sluggish, unnoticed, or even depressed about how your writing is going, take out a pen and some paper and answer the following questions.
