So I must disagree with you on that one.<br />You reminded me of a dream I had last night. It was funny... I was talking in my sleep and my words woke me from it. I was saying 'the words are so powerful'. I remembered I saw all my words written on the bark of a very tall tree. I guess that's my desire, to penetrate the hearts of many, to carve in deep! See... I can blah-blah too! :DEllie Kingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711249217634726986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603999447807174774.post-34688811829136318242009-11-07T11:34:42.583-05:002009-11-07T11:34:42.583-05:00Ellie-first I want to say that I've been there...Ellie-first I want to say that I've been there. I started the same project a number of times, scraped it and then tried again. It's frustrated not knowing where to begin so I stopped trying to begin. I wrote the parts of the story that were important that spoke to me in my dreams and other downtime. Then I pieced it together. I use to be a write from the being kind of girl, but now I focus on sections. Remember to set goals for yourself and reward yourself when you accomplish them ie write 10 pages today and tomorrow fix the narrative in chapter six. Reese's Peanut Butter cups are my favorite rewards! Write everyday even if its only a paragraph at least you contributed something. It will make you feel like your getting somewhere! Remember we've all been where you are, but at the end the sense of acheivement is exhilarting. Let your characters write for you. You will know when they take control. Good luck and you go girl...write that novel:)Veronica and Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085407071543219089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603999447807174774.post-14781425455242219882009-11-07T10:13:23.266-05:002009-11-07T10:13:23.266-05:00Thanks so much!!!

Needless to say, I'm getting an external hard drive in a few weeks.

Giving your joys and pain the same attention through your writings....and keep spreading your heart through your pen.<br /><br />As for me,<br />i clear the forest in my being to make my path to go up to the summit!<br />perhaps, a beautiful surprise awaits us all.<br />or maybe there's nothing at all but expectations, <br />or maybe the path itself becomes the summit!<br /><br />Meanwhile, i gladly and gratefully follow you.<br /> Through your gentleness a part of me blooms...and i hope we all will bloom in each others light, IN a very fertile space full of love!<br /><br />COL<br /><br />NB: sorry for this long blah blah....wish i could tell you all this in one look!Craftsman of lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747434398075620991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603999447807174774.post-77225471077382753282009-11-07T01:35:29.879-05:002009-11-07T01:35:29.879-05:00Thanks for your kind words Alex!
