Maybe you indulged in a bit too much of your kids' candy? Maybe blogging helps you get the frustration out of the system so you can write with clarity and poise? Maybe you should just go drop your kids off at a daycare so you can get lost in your book for a day?

You will get there and all in good timing.

I talk/write about things I'm going to do or change all the time. I think at least it's good that we've gotten that far, right? I mean, if we were just sitting on the couch watching soap operas all day instead of living our own or writing one ourselves, we'd be fat lazy bitches with no life and no thoughts of our own. You know what you're going to write so that's half the battle. Be patient, you know it'll come on on paper when it's ready. As you can tell, I'm in post vacation mode and will probably crash into a "I need to get it together" mode within minutes, myself.

Vacations are hard to put away.

I used to write with no problems - ideas just came to me and I had no trouble putting them down on paper, and they always sounded perfect.

Now I spend too much time worrying and not enough time writing... I'm too scared it won't sound right or whatever...

Ugh.

all in good time. I think diversions are things that happen because they should. you're book will be done, just a little longer than it had previously seemed. Enjoy the distractions.

Gee, that just happens to be my favorite combination of qualities in a man...

I think you're gonna nail it on this one, you sound like such an author it makes me want to vomit. In a good way though. Write like one too but we all knew that... duh.

Just don't forget to include a homosexual, a black and a mexican in your story. Uh, MTV does it and they're pretty popular.
greg | Homepage | 05.03.05 - 8:47 pm | #

well, I do write popular fiction... and you got to admit, MTV's got the real deal goin'.

Sorry I made you throw up and then wasn't there to hold your hair back.

Well as a torn nuscle and slip disk veteran let me broach the back thing fist. Stress will kill it. Also lie on your back with your feet on a chair that helps me may or may not help you.

Keeping kids still with candy, I would try valium. yuk yuk.

You are very talented so I do not think you will have trouble with the book.

I am so tired I don't think I made any since.
