One of my favourite authors, Robin Hobb, has a character in one of her books where they can connect to animals (it's a fantasy novel) and every time I read it, I'm reminded of my own fur baby and how much I miss her. Sorry for your loss, I look forward to seeing what you write about yours!Charis Joy Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274372117691594529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-65949136301671210042016-07-29T16:25:08.375+10:002016-07-29T16:25:08.375+10:00AWww, don't be nervous!

Fear, lack of confidence, feelings of inadequacy. We write for the God of all creation. We have no reason to be afraid. Having said that, we also need to constantly hone our skills to be excellent for His glory. :-)Deb Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777597126643958146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-41556423213756551642016-07-28T17:27:30.693+10:002016-07-28T17:27:30.693+10:00haha yes, write a blog about the "more" ...haha yes, write a blog about the "more" bit, but yes keep writing!!!!!Charis Joy Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274372117691594529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-51609724751313544922016-07-28T17:27:01.830+10:002016-07-28T17:27:01.830+10:00Thanks Rita!
