It is far easier to get work accomplished when you have someone cheering you on. Or, nudging you along.
P.S. 5:20 p.m. IT’S SNOWINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Ones, 💗
In the last four years I have become increasingly disabled. I can hardly walk, don't go outside, but can do my work. With the support of Patrons on Patreon, and since I now live only on social security, their help and support has been a godsend as I write my book on learning how to grow older with as much grace as we can muster, how to get through the hard times, the losses, the gains, resources and more.
You can be my Patron for as little as $5 a month and in return you get many gifts. A weekly 45 minute podcast, "Notes From Maitri," little blog posts for Patrons only. Downloadable free art, as well as books I love, showing my art process and the supplies I use and where you can get them, and so much more.
No matter how old we are we're all getting older. This is a book for everyone!
Maitri both writes and draws to make sense of her life. She lives with her emotional support dog, a "chigi" (chihuahua/corgi mix) Molly, and her parakeet Franny, at Dragonfly Cottage on the coast of North Carolina.
Maisie & I invite you to visit us at Society6. Over 30 different Maisie paintings on all manner of merchandise. Prints and wall art, mugs, tote bags, t-shirts, journals, stickers, and so much more. Have a look! It's so much fun to bring Maisie and her World into your life! 💖
You are not alone dear one. I have had this link on my site for over 20 years. I am putting it back on now. It is the most beautiful site. Millions of people around the world use it 24 hours a day. You can light a virtual flickering candle, say a prayer, put in a prayer request, anonymously, or leave your name or initials. When we pray in community it is a very powerful thing indeed. I am holding you in my heart and prayers. I light a candle here routinely and am deeply moved by the experience...

Lovely to read, Maitri and good luck with your focusing on finishing your book. I have some of the same issues of doing other creative pursuits that seem just as fun and worthwhile (like art) but actually using them to distract myself from my writing. I too, am trying to find the balance. Love to you, Cheryl Irwin
Oh, I totally understand the struggle to write The Book! I need to stop thinking that it’s either 5 hours a day or nothing – that some days I do more, some less. I had the same comment from a reader, too, BTW – that I’m always talking about Writing A Book and, um – you know.
I’ve been through a lot of things IRL in the last 6 months but 2013 is going to be better, I think…
It is lovely to hear from you and I send you hugs and good vibes from snowy Canada (and this year it really has been snowy!)

Cheryl, hello! Thanks so much for dropping in!
You know, I have all kinds of issues as we all do but it seems to me that creatives have a harder time focusing their energy into ONE project. I’ve been, ahem, meaning to work on the book meanwhile working in pastels, ahem, but I’m sure I’m going to write something just about, oh, say, any minute now!
Any minute, really. 🙂
Hugs,
Maitri
Lidian! It’s so good to hear from you!
Since EC seemed to up and disappeared off the face of the earth I’ve really missed a lot of folks I used to see regularly dropping and liked to keep tabs on their blogs and I didn’t keep track of all of the addresses because it never occurred to me that EC would go POOF with no warning! I’ll still never figure that one out!
Oh honey, I feel your pain. Sigh… I know you did NaNoWriMo. Did that help at all? My problem is that I’m a non-fiction writer (though I used to write fiction and would like to write a novel I’ve had inside of me for several years…) but NNWM is for fiction so it hasn’t really worked for me.
I’m sorry RL has been tough and I wish for you a very bright and beautiful 2013!
Big Hugs and Love,
Maitri
