Comments on: The “Streak” Is FINALLY Broken! http://courtneymroch.com/blog/2010/01/07/the-streak-is-finally-broken/ Where Courtney Mroch muses about a little bit of this and a little bit of that based on the different facets of her life Fri, 04 Mar 2011 15:59:46 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Courtney Mroch http://courtneymroch.com/blog/2010/01/07/the-streak-is-finally-broken/comment-page-1/#comment-33 Courtney Mroch Sat, 16 Jan 2010 23:06:44 +0000 http://courtneymroch.com/blog/?p=116#comment-33 Hi Jade! You always know how to put a smile in my heart. Wayne just doesn't get it. He financially supports me, but when it comes to my writing there is no nurturing, support, encouragement. Why? Because he's all accountant/rational minded. I'm not bringing in (much) money, and he thinks books are a dying breed so I'm wasting time trying to get my novels published when I could be doing bigger and better things. (Whatever those may be...he has big ideas for me that don't gel with my sensibilities!) Basically, he thinks it's just all a big joke. Sigh. But I'm not going to let all that stop me anymore! (Because it has been.) Thanks for your comment. And for ALWAYS encouraging me! Hi Jade! You always know how to put a smile in my heart. Wayne just doesn’t get it.

I've been writing for more than two decades and I still get a thrill out of acceptance letters. "Anyway, when I got the news I had cancer I did some soul searching and decided, as much as Wayne hates it and thinks I’m wasting my time and tries to discourage me with his pessimism, writing is my passion and not pursuing it denies my authentic self happiness. Which is just no longer acceptable." I must admit...I'm really shocked at this. Why in the world doesn't he support your artistic endeavors? How could it possibly be a waste of time when your words constantly touch people? Congrats on the acceptance.
