Thank you kindly for your responses. They do make a difference. It is nice to find someone who has similar thought processes.
Probably, for some additional clarity, I should add that it is the time to write in such a way that I am at peace with it, once published. I suppose I could write something very quickly, but that would provide little to no satisfaction.
For now, I am just trying to be at peace and settled on just doing what I can, when I can, and whatever happens from there is fine. I wish I could say I am finding that easy. Getting started, I am finding it more difficult than I had expected.
