Once I have had a nice indulgent feel sorry for myself pajama day, I dust myself off...I feel a song coming on. Good luck with that ruling the world thing. :)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524878248746427258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-6119782923294448282010-01-16T02:36:34.937-08:002010-01-16T02:36:34.937-08:00Hi

So long as I get to keep my cat and be allocated time to use the internet!<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Re: Chap by chap:<br />Great advice! It's always disheartening when you get so far and you just go "aaaaaaaaargh"!! And just want to quit. Where were you when I needed you (oooh circa 2006??!!)<br /><br />Re: blogging away<br />You know, blogging away and meeting such a diverse set of bloggers/writers - Jane Finchwood, I think you are a writer just by creating a blog :-)- has really fired up what I thought was a nearly-dead enthusiasm for writing creatively. Maybe it's time I dust off my half-written thing that thiinks it's gonna be novel resting in the bottom of my sock drawer and start again... maybe..!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-29745120813415731772010-01-15T17:16:32.599-08:002010-01-15T17:16:32.599-08:00Ha!

And this...I will NOT be brainwashed.. oh.. wait...<br /><br />And this might not be helpful, but when I get really freaked out, I stop. Take a break, work on other stuff, clear the mind and then go back. I always feel better after that. It does mean my editing is incredibly slow though. :SAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140446303276064209noreply@blogger.com
