I've manage to go from not really writing anything to feeling compelled to write as much as I can, and yet I still can't trust my own opinion of my writing (because it's never good enough for me).<BR/><BR/>It's funny how easy it is to let my view of myself become wrapped up in something that's a relatively small part of who I am, and yet I still feel compelled to try to write even when the words won't come to me. Writing really is a powerful thing, and far more emotional than I ever imagined it would be....Rebolokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14596517608366115894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660293.post-75203360770848464922009-02-09T15:57:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:57:00.000-05:00Easy for Ray to say. LOL. Thanks for the little pep talk, Vicky. I had a few days of down a couple of weeks ago, but I had a deadline on something else so I couldn't dwell on it. It's strange hearing about other's problems. I'm sure there's lots of writers wishing they had a book published so they could get any kind of review, and those who wish they had an agent at all even if the said agent did want revisions. And there are lots who would prefer to sell any book even if it isn't the book of one's heart. If I can take my turn to whine, I get frustrated with the slow functioning of the publishing industry and the inefficiency of communications. I'm the kind of person who sticks deadlines, is on time, returns calls and pretty much likes to be organized and ahead of problems before they start. I'm waiting on an answer to an email to my publisher about something. And still waiting. How long does it take to sent a short reply? Yes. No. We'll think about it. Thanks for listening to my problem. Guess I at the bottom of the hill on that coaster.Susan Kelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.com
