Fiorella De Maria:
I so very much want to write, however, I am afraid and have so many ideas that pop into my head. How would you suggest that I get started?
Fiorella De Maria
First of all, embrace your fear. Writers never lose the fear (at least I never have) but you can learn to work with it. It's a good thing that you have a lot of ideas- have a think about which ideas persistently return to you. That would be a possible place to start. You could also try writing some short stories to explore a lot of different storylines. Then just write, write, write! Even if you don't initially like what you have written it will give you a starting point. Hope this helps

Fiorella De Maria:
Thank you for your answer Fiorella. All the other themes you mentioned which run deeply in you also run very deeply in me. It often happens, as it is now, that I weep when someone is kind to me because I feel so undeserving. I sometimes weep when I receive Holy Communion, Our Lord having done the most loving thing toward me that is possible. Is it that same feeling that Warda has?
