Upbeat Madeleine

I am feeling energized and upbeat! And yes, readers, I read Agnes's lovely post. While I am sad that she is leaving, she is right to do it. She met her obligation, after all. If I had met mine I would have stopped writing on the Mildred a long time ago...

I do hope, however, that Agnes will continue to post from time to time, or at least comment on my posts. It's sort of exciting, actually; this new development could boost my readership to three.

But let me say again--and it's true, readers: I am feeling energized and upbeat!

What happened, you ask?

I don't know for sure. Perhaps it's just the excitement that comes when one starts writing again after a period of NOT writing. It also has to do with my writing what I want to write and not punishing myself (by not writing at all) for not writing what I should be writing, i.e., the stories.

Anyway, I feel like something is loosening in me, does that makes sense? Perhaps I'm not trying to control everything like I usually do? (Surely Agnes would not agree.)
