@AdamsEve1231 Thank you so much for your response! You know, I shift pretty quickly, so I've already shifted out of the space I was in when I posed those questions, yet it is so lovely to read your responses from this new perspective that I'm in today! Thank you. I love to read your sharing of how you balance your busy schedule with your other creative activities: when I posed that question, I was especially hoping that you'd respond since I remember what it's like to be a grad student and how one needs to be resourceful to find time for anything else! I love your description of your "gentle reminders"--I, too, find it helps to be precise and creative in what I call things.
Thanks for your encouragement that I keep up with writing SimLit! Today I realized that as I am able to find ways to express and explore life-themes through it, I find it especially valuable, personally.
