But necessary, which is killing me.<br /><br />I pushed through it because I had to (deadline this week!), but I came out a few pages later and found the next scene I absolutely love. And the next scene too.<br /><br />So the realization that I only suck PART of the time was comforting. :)<br /><br />Keep going. There's gold in there. You are a great writer, and all you need to do is keep persevering. :)Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984184121584258371.post-88790393910626414532011-02-28T05:33:00.342-08:002011-02-28T05:33:00.342-08:00I'm editing and writing all at once...a little...I'm editing and writing all at once...a little crazy.
