I like what your mom taught you and think it is great that you instill that in your children as well. :) I'm inspired all over again.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493618594406138554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-28690334934469103942011-03-01T07:47:40.289-08:002011-03-01T07:47:40.289-08:00Aw!

Dang it! Ah well... I tell myself that same thing every time I think about it being hard, it will be worth it if I can just do it well.

I bailed out. I will make myself go back tonight and finish it. On the bright side: the house is spotless and I ran a ton of errands to avoid it. But it's calling to me. My characters want to finish it and get on with the adventure.Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-10086370808409220782011-02-28T11:38:28.337-08:002011-02-28T11:38:28.337-08:00Wow.

What's wrong with me, I wondered. And the answer is: there's nothing wrong with me. Everybody's different. Weeping, wailing and gnashing my teeth won't change that. All it does is suck valuable time and energy from what I ought to be doing: writing.Maegan Langerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335946908481515797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-34251721286058777002011-02-28T10:32:44.378-08:002011-02-28T10:32:44.378-08:00I'm not giving up!

In fact, growing up, I was such a perfectionist that if I didn't think I could do it well, I wouldn't do it at all. Ahhh! I've gotten better about it. Like I'll go bowling now even though I'm the supreme suckage. But writing? Well, I actually have had to learn when to quit because there's always a way to make it better. But man, such a good motto to live by. Writing is hard, writing well is harder. Publishing? Sometimes it seems impossible. But it's not. People do it all the time.<br /><br />You're always good for a dose of inspiration, hon. Thanks for that.Carolina M.
