I have to admit, the idea of quitting rarely runs through my head but when it does its horribly seductive. Except the stories are there, waiting. They have to be told and honestly, my family is grateful to not have to listen to me babble to them so much now that I write them down LOL. I will say, though, I love having written. Writing itself though... not so much. Wonderful realization!

It can indeed be a scary realization, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I sometimes liken the experience of publishing to knocking a brick wall down with your forehead. It can be painful and tedious, but if you always remember that your forehead heals and the wall doesn't you're halfway there. And there's nothing in the world like that moment when you realize that you're standing there blinking in the sunlight and the dust because the wall came down. That said, chocolate does indeed help. Oh, and the writing part of writing makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the link. It can indeed be a scary realization, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
