I think sometimes as writers it's tempting to prepare yourself for disappointment rather than hope for the best. But really, what's the point of writing if you don't have hopes and dreams? <br /><br />AND we finally commented on the amazing award you gave us. Sorry we're so late! We're so behind! Thank you for all of your thought provoking posts and for being such a great blog friend. Whenever we visit your blog we always leave just a tiny bit wiser.lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-2557813899386915172010-02-24T23:27:56.395-05:002010-02-24T23:27:56.395-05:00Jill super post.

I say, "Okay, I'm going to write X number of pages this hour (or half hour) and I CANNOT leave this seat until I've accomplished that." Something about not having a tangible goal just makes the whole task of writing daunting to me.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-46658825857654797702010-02-24T09:44:08.896-05:002010-02-24T09:44:08.896-05:00Timely post!

It's getting harder to spend so much time on writing because it feels so self-indulgant. There are a thousand other things I could/should be doing, and when I pound away at the keyboard it feels like I should be doing something else. Ugh.

Sometimes I'll read over my work and feel like I've been slapped in the face. Other times, when I've nailed a line or a chapter, I feel like I'm being kissed for the first time.<br /><br />I like talking about writing with others who enjoy it. Just like when you fall in love for the first time and you can't stop talking about the guy...that's how it gets w/ me. Sometimes I have to watch it and put a lid on it so I don't blabber on...and on...<br /><br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.com
