I forget how stuck I was on a certain scene until I sit down and try to face it..<br /><br />"So my particular brand of delusion is the expectation that I’ll sit down and type a coherent story, proceeding forward every day while knowing and believing in the story, and finishing each day satisfied with my progress." - Perhaps one of your books, one day, will work exactly like that!

Before I read that, I had a lot of false starts and unfinished stories too. It was easier to finish a draft once I realized that it didn't have to be perfect the first time around.

You're SO right. If we remembered all the angst, we'd probably not start another book! (This kind of reminds me of pregnancy, now that I think about it. You don't remember the real pain of labor until that moment it begins...) Jody Casellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892174349776047862noreply@blogger.com
