		<description>Thanks Mr. R.  I appreciate that.  I guarantee my Spanish is not as good as your English, so you have me there!  Thanks for stopping by.</description>

		<description>I love this post.  It actually made me think about myself...what makes me write? It would be a great exercise for me to think it through, and write it up.  I love the history you give about being a kid and enjoying writing. That&#039;s so great.
You know...somebody is going to &quot;steal&quot; this idea, I&#039;m sure...this would make such a good coffee-table book, &quot;Why do you write?&quot;--with features on favorite contemporary writers/novelist/bloggers.
Thanks for sharing!

		<description>http://alabaster.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/why-i-dont-write-is-not-writing-always-writers-block-or-is-it-sometimes-just-not-being-a-writer/

I wrote an article a few months back about my own struggles. I enjoyed reading yours (made me smile..though alas, my day was quite good already ;))
Anyway, mine is long and very out of date, but I thought you might like to look at it. The good news is that since then I&#039;ve been much more prolific...though still not prolific enough. I&#039;d also recommend you look up Nanowrimo if you want to get that novel out. It got me to write 52,000 words of a novel (almost finished) in one month. It may well be terrible (I&#039;m not re-reading until I&#039;ve finished in case I hate it too much to carry on).
Anyway, I&#039;m rambling. But I really enjoyed your post.
I shall explore this sturggling land when I have more time at hand.
Oops, Rhyme.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve always been interested in stories, since a very young age. It was fun to read about where your desire to write came from, and got me thinking about my own version of the &#039;writer&#039;s tale.&#039;</description>

		<description>Leo - thanks for the compliment.  I think this was one of my better posts.

Paperback Writer - look forward to seeing your post

mixi - thanks!  I totally recommend publishing a newspaper just to sing your own praises. It worked for me (or not).</description>
