So... I am aiming to do both! I look forward to your series... you might convince me yet. I definitely tend to get a little "shy" about my writing :) Time to break free of that I guess!Amber Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211990409293832923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-75181709950492902722009-05-27T20:28:31.947-04:002009-05-27T20:28:31.947-04:00Amber J: Hey!

Thanks for the peek into your world.<br /><br />I love my WIP, even though it's coming along really sloooooow, because I am having to spend so much time editing my first book, which needs more band-aids and splints and surgery than i expected. So, I'm sick of it. Occasionally a line will pop out at me that I think is inspired, but usually I'm in wiggy land. <br />JenJeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-25735000586129888662009-05-27T16:46:58.573-04:002009-05-27T16:46:58.573-04:00This might be my favorite post of yours! made me l...This might be my favorite post of yours! made me laugh too! nice one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815269387039346406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-18788924512280785132009-05-27T15:49:29.657-04:002009-05-27T15:49:29.657-04:00Lady Glamis: I have a rule.

And to be honest, it depends on the day whether or not I like to read certain books, too. I always overthink things and get myself down, but after a break sometimes I fall in love again...<br /><br />Overall, though, I do love my writing. Just in brief tiny stints. :)Michelle D.

Boy, am I ready for next week!<br /><br />Sherrinda: I know all about those insecurities and may even be creating new ones--ha! And no, the first draft of the first attempt at writing does not have to be bad, silly!<br /><br />Katie: Yep. Me too. I believe in chocolate therapy. <br /><br />Wendy: I know. I love my characters too. I think they're such interesting people--I wish I could meet them for real!<br /><br />Danyelle: Oh, I know. I'm never completely satisfied, but I have to walk away and start something new at some point. <br /><br />Jennifer: There's definitely a grandiose hi-lo thing with writing!<br /><br />Cindy: I know what you mean. I'll write a few chapters and feel as if I'm just pushing the plot along, but after I read it I'll realize it's better than I thought. That's a good feeling.<br /><br />Jody: Good point. I'm never married to the story so much I can't change it. I figure my books could go any number of ways anyhow, what's the big deal if they take path B instead of path A? <br /><br />Erica: Those crazy characters have a mind of their own, don't they? Just like kids, you never quite know what's going to pop out of their mouths!<br /><br />Karin: I used to hate revising. Now, it's like putting together a puzzle. I enjoy the challenge.<br /><br />Tess: Right on! Why do it if it doesn't bring joy? <br /><br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-74000525829863788142009-05-27T11:42:42.922-04:002009-05-27T11:42:42.922-04:00Love the picture :)

They are like my children, in that they don't always behave the way I'd like, but they are precious to me no matter what. <br /><br />Some days I'm writing dreck, some days the prose flows. <br /><br />I think if you're not in love with your work, it will show. Why should a reader love your stories if you don't?Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-37227179964609727632009-05-27T11:01:28.010-04:002009-05-27T11:01:28.010-04:00You are hilarious, Jill!

One, I want to be able to take a step back and see what it's really like--be as objective as possible (which is super hard!). Two, I want to be flexible with anything I may need to change in the future--and from what I've heard, editors often ask us to rewrite a lot. If I'm too in love, I may not be able to let go of part of my story.<br /><br />So, often I find myself writing too critically, perhaps not giving myself enough credit!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-85277047986948651792009-05-27T10:23:10.136-04:002009-05-27T10:23:10.136-04:00That was so funny, Jill!

It's hard to tell as I am plodding through yet another page, one by one until I get to the end. But when I read it back through, I am draw in and it makes all the effort totally worth it.Cindy R.
