I appreciate it! I am also really loving the process for the most part – today I had a nice little breakthrough again. But it is hard...one of those things that if I had known how hard it would be I might not have taken it on! Thanks Kylie and Kezia for the support. I appreciate it!

It is akin to analysis. Rosellen Brown states that the creative non-fiction writer "is on a journey of discovery, often unasked for and unplanned" and Phillip Lopate adds that the self-discovery that occurs through this writing, "not only monitors the self but helps it gel. The essay is an enactment of the creation of the self." So, keep at it! But, also, as I know you do by reading your blog, take good care of yourself, as well : ) Some days are hard, as you deeply reflect on your travels, life in Stockholm, and life, in general.

It is not an endeavour you took on lightly or on a whim. This book will be your legacy. Those close to you know, that it is a book about your travels but also an exploration about yourself and your life. Perserve, I for one am hooked and do not want you to stop (how selfish is that!!!)
