Too talented, too tortured, too many fingers doing the typing...because you know, I trip over eight. Sixteen must a bear.<BR/><BR/>I think I understand what you're saying, though. My distractions? Everything to the left of me. Everything to the right of me. <BR/><BR/><I>Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you.</I><BR/><BR/>Like you wrote, time is ah-sliding past. And my emotions, they be getting cold round about my bony ankles. <BR/><BR/>Writing is fskin' hard, innet?Unhingedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299084905191628448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-11209843465849252942007-11-03T18:24:00.000-07:002007-11-03T18:24:00.000-07:00I am of the opinion that everyone is looking for t...I am of the opinion that everyone is looking for the Holy Grail of Writing--when they find it it's going to transform them from whoever to Nora Roberts. Sort of like people who want to win the lottery and dip out of work.<BR/><BR/>lol, bet if you look at what you're writing and compare it with what you wrote later it all ties in. That's backbrain stuff, and yeah--it's freaking brilliant.

We'd be freakin' brilliant eh?<BR/>Those emotions are tough for me. I get scenes with characters and sometimes their motivation doesn't show itself until much further down the line.<BR/>THAT can be frustrating.<BR/>Hang in there. <BR/>And sometimes people don't "get" what I say. It takes someone ELSE'S words to get through. *shrugs*.Jennifer McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613714863799177911noreply@blogger.com
