JUNE QUESTION: Did you ever say “I quit”? If so, what happened to make you come back to writing?
My Answer: There have been a few times I have thought about quitting. An overwhelming numbers of rejections at one time, a really MEAN rejection letter from a highly acclaimed publication editor, and a terrifying health diagnosis have all instigated periods where I quit writing at different times in my life. Yet, just like so many of you, I couldn't really quit. Writing is an addiction, a catharsis, and a passion. I'm sure I will continue writing until I die, or lose my mind... whichever comes first ;-)
Have you ever quit writing? Are you back on the wagon, or done for good?

I will never understand the mean rejections. I think a lot of times when we want to quit we may just need a break to get us motivated again.
Just like you, I can't give it up either - writing is very much a therapy for me!
Um, yeah, let's not go for the losing your mind thing. That doesn't sound like a great option. ;)
Since you can't quit, those were just breaks.
I'm rather belatedly getting around to some of these IWSG posts! But had to drop in and say hi, and agree with those who think that a mean rejection is really unnecessary! Just saying "no" to our little perfect creations is mean enough :) Glad you can't quit, though.
I wind up quitting now and then, or at least, giving up the idea that I could ever be **good**. I lose momentum and have to build that back up.
writing is very much a therapy for me!
