The moment writing starts to feel like an obligation rather than something I want to do, the entire exercise loses its purpose

One of the biggest benefits of writing regularly is the clarity it brings. Thoughts that feel scattered or half-formed become much clearer once they are put into words. Writing creates space to reflect on experiences, notice patterns and properly think things through rather than letting them pass by unnoticed. I’ve also found that it can also be surprisingly grounding. Taking a few minutes each day to sit down and capture an idea, a moment, or a reaction helps slow everything down slightly and helps me to get my brain in gear, ready to start work. Over time it has also helped to build confidence, because the more I have written, the more comfortable I have become at expressing my thoughts and trusting my own voice again.

      Hi Suzie 🙂

      Thanks for visiting!

      I’m curious: How would you feel if I visited your blog and asked you to remove something?

      I appreciate that you said “please”, but I feel simply saying please does not make it OK to ask someone to remove something they have published. (IMHO )

      🙂 Norbert

        You have posted part of my blog post and a picture of me without my knowledge of permission. Please could you remove it

        This is how publishing works: When people publish something, other people are free to quote it.

    I have not given permission for my photo to be used and it clearly states in my About page that I do not give anyone permission to use photos of me without prior permission. Please remove the image.

      I see you have just edited your about page. When I published my post this morning, you had a different text there (I have screenshots to prove that). I suggest you be more careful about how you show up (you may want to consider looking into the “shifting sands” phenomenon). I will consider removing the photo of your face in order to please you.

        My About Page isn’t relevant here – I was forced to change it to ensure that nobody else in the future thought it was ok to post my photo without asking first.

        I have not given permission for my image to be used. Please remove the photo.

        I think maybe you wrote this while I was removing your photo. FYI: Strictly speaking, the image I used is hosted @ gravatar.com , so IDK if you can actually make a case for the image being yours (even though it also appears on your blog @ suzie81speaks.com [as your “profile” image]).

        Whatever. Nevermind. 😉
