The writing's coming a little easier now that I've moved. I can be done saying "when I get there", because I'm here, and now there are some things I can do! Digging in, mostly. Consciously treading the same patch of earth that was so influential in my becoming Pagan in the first place. Kind of a head trip. ;) Cat, thank you so much!

But let me say, not writing because you can't yet find words is fine--there is so MUCH I want to say, but haven't yet found words for! And likewise, not sharing all that you have to say with the Whole Wide World (WWW, aka teh Interwebs *smile*) is also dandy! But don't think that you need to wait until you've been Pagan for a long, long time to have much to say. One thing that is very clear to me, as I read Pagan blogs, is how much of the best, most important writing going on in the Pagan blogosphere is being done by men and women who are coming into their spiritual maturity. Keep effing the ineffable! No one else has your specific voice, and as long as you are true to what you experience, what you write <i>will</i> have value. (I'll want to read it, anyway.) Blessings!

In the first case, it helps me think through it, and in the second, it gives me a handy reference the next times it comes up. Readers are excellent in either part of the process, but I'm writing for myself as well, and that made it easier to get over my "Does anyone else care?" feelings.
