That’s some title - kind of implies I know, doesn’t it? But I don’t!

I write a regular monthly column for a parenting publication and I’ve been toying with the idea of giving it up. It’s become just another monthly chore recently and I’m not so sure I enjoy writing it anymore. I just emailed my editor, and she told me she hopes I won’t give it up, because she enjoys my column a lot and so do the readers.

I hadn’t received any feedback before this, and suddenly, I’m experiencing a change of heart. I don’t know - should this type of feedback matter? Why on earth is it that when I know people are actually enjoying my column, I all of a sudden decide maybe it’s not the chore to write as I thought it was?

Well, I’ll have to think about it some more. My deadline for the January column is tonight, so I’ll see whether I feel differently when I’m writing it tonight or not.
