These are the times when sheer willpower gets me through. Like Steena, I do a lot of writing and deleting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501918398545296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913157982575363844.post-33289372785577411012010-04-14T14:19:02.322-04:002010-04-14T14:19:02.322-04:00What a Powerful post!

I'll hate the revision I'm working on up to when I discover what I should actually do about it. Then, of course, I'll be infatuated for hours. : )Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909176210194176373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913157982575363844.post-69048329439610659362010-04-14T10:53:06.664-04:002010-04-14T10:53:06.664-04:00If only I could surprise my muse and make her sque...If only I could surprise my muse and make her squeal with delight. That doesn't happen. I can be emotional in my writing in that I have a love-hate with any of my WIP's - sometimes, I can't get enough of them and other times, we're not speaking.<br /><br />You described this really well. Great job!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851403823244758904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913157982575363844.post-84593012350873409662010-04-14T08:35:51.370-04:002010-04-14T08:35:51.370-04:00Steena, I do the write and delete cycle too!

Can you tell I'm in the middle of sorting through a particularly difficult chapter?<br /><br />Steena, I'm so with you about going over and over something. How could I have forgotten the role of chocolate in all of this? Thanks for reminding us of that crucial aspect of writing. : )Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909176210194176373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913157982575363844.post-14095695142561807392010-04-13T23:40:49.734-04:002010-04-13T23:40:49.734-04:00Boy did you hit it on the head!

I tend to write, delete, write, delete, drink a pot of coffee and then eat chocolate only then to come back and rewrite everything I previously wrote. I'll leave it for a bit and then BAM - 2:00am and it hits me ... except I forget about it at 9:00am and I have to redo the whole process over :)Steena Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585255306121495098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913157982575363844.post-82749954529034050342010-04-13T23:40:19.881-04:002010-04-13T23:40:19.881-04:00SO SO SO true!

Goodness knows I go through quite a few drafts searching for it. <br /><br />And speaking of good stuff... Michelle and I were talking about With a Name Like Love today.

But, I can't say how I marry the two. Some days it comes on its own, some days I pull it kicking and screaming from the recesses of my mind. But, I think -- in the end -- it doesn't matter how it got there. as long as it is there. oh, lordy lord ... I hope it is there!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.com
