A Monday Word of Advice

Keep in mind that feelings about your WIP are entirely subjective.


One day you may think your manuscript will have publishers drooling to snatch it up.


Other days you'll be tempted to line the cockatiel cage with the dang thing.


Just keep writing, no matter how you feel.

Love this! Yes, we have to pass by the dreg-gie feeling and just keep writing. Though sometimes, even after the MS is done, you wonder if it's worth anything. This is where other readers come in VERY HANDY! Grin.

I dont write books but I do on 2 blogs (2.5 if you count the one I dont own and write on occasionally) but I do get disgruntled when on the primary the majoriry of the visitors are people looking for pictures of Trebuchets, or anything involving trebuchets.
I've thought giving up oor starting a site specifically devoted to trebuchets a couple of times I confess.

Hah! Whoda thunk trebuchets would garner that much interest? My boys made one out of popsicle sticks once. Maybe you could do a medieval craft blog, eh?

Very important to remember. Why does my mind go blank to that fact on the yucky days?
Thanks.

Michelle Griep said...

I'm speaking to myself every bit as much as my blog readers. Believe me...I KNOW that blank feeling on the yucky days.
