That’s such a wonderful thing to hear – actually on two levels. Wonderful for you (and your readers) to know you are getting the passion back But also, because I haven’t been able to write for the past 2 years, it’s good to know that it possible to return to the whole process with such a passion. I guess it’s easy to think in terms of losing something we won’t get back, instead of realising that it’s just a time to regenerate.

You write well and you really have something to say. I’ve been reading your blog for a few days with a lot of interest. You’re not repeating what everyone says on every other blog, and your posts are sincere and useful. If everything you write is like that, I’ll buy your future book!
Too bad I’m not an editor ^^! Anyway, I read a lot of books (I share your passion, absolutely), and I read a few blogs, I’m very picky in my choices, and I definitely like to read you!
I like the sincerity of your posts, and the clarity of your thoughts You talk about feeling clarity about life, it’s in your writing too and that’s rich!
Keep going ; ) !

Glad to hear you are ready again, Kate. Your post is a lovely coincidence. I’d also taken a writing hiatus of several years. This year I found myself reading more fiction – recent novels by Ron Carlson, Barbara Kingsolver, Yann Martel, etc. I was just reviewing old agent rejection letters this past week, and realized that more than anything I missed the process of discovering my own stories, whether they get published or not. May you have many days of writing bliss.

Kate, this is great news. It’s a fantastic feeling to be so re-energised about something. And getting the attention of comissioning editors? What a mysterious process that is. Some years ago I went to a seminar on ‘How to get your PhD published’. There were speakers from two different publishing houses – one of whom said, ‘Ring us, talk to us about your proposal, never send anything unless we’ve spoken to you first’. The other said, ‘Never ring. We’re too busy and you’ll just annoy us. Send us a, b, c and d. And we’ll ring you…maybe’.
Oh, and the Kindle thing. I share your grief over this. I’ve also been to a seminar on this (hmm, I actually dislike seminars, you know) and I almost wept at how enthusiastically publishers were raving about this. It’s $$$, basically, because lots of publishers are businesspeople first and foremost.
Anyway, Kate, it’s always wonderful to feel your excitement/revelations/wonder coming through in your words. Looking forward to seeing where this next writing phase takes you!.
