Take heart, all of my readers who are also writers, for even Sir Walter Scott suffered at the hands and pens of critics. Here is a quote from the anonymous “British Critic” in 1815, just after the publication of Scott’s second novel (in two volumes), Guy Mannering, or, The Astrologer. “We cannot, however, conclude this […]
It seems many people have begun questioning their purpose in life; why they’re alive at this particular time in history, what they’re supposed to be doing to fulfill their destiny.

… but nobody does anything about it. Of course, I’m referencing the weather here. And no matter where in the USA you call home, I would be willing to bet you had your life significantly impacted by the recent spate of untenable weather events.
