Especially about the waxing and waning, I think I'm waning currently, or more precisely waned. Writing and editing certainly do both take time, always more time than I expect, but it's time well spent. Thanks so much for your insightful and inspiring posts. I too look forward to your second 1000- no pressure... I think it's great that your involved with AWW too- it's such a great project- I really enjoy reading your roundups there too.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-31407813824876553442017-03-09T04:48:11.125+11:002017-03-09T04:48:11.125+11:00Congratulations on 1000 posts!

I have gone through a real slump the last part of 2016 and early part of 2017 so it is nice to know that slumps are normal. I quit participating in too many challenges because they really started to stress me out, yet I miss the challenges they provide to read something off the normal cadre of books I choose. I do, however, relish the Classics Club Spin...my problem, I keep adding books to the list so I will likely never finish it. After I retire I will look into the Dewey Challenge. That sounds like a good one for a librarian to participate in.
