The books that got the most raves (even if they didn't sell) were the books I was involved in--the books I loved writing. <br /><br />Something to think about.<br /><br />It isn't capability. It's love that counts in writing.Anny Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305873753916213970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-31634522039736076432010-01-29T17:50:05.309-05:002010-01-29T17:50:05.309-05:00Ohhhh Tessie.

I'm finishing up my last contracted story right now and then I can write anything I want. But on the other hand, then I will start stressing about finding a home for it!

Genre's I've never written. <br /><br />I've made the deadlines, learned I can do anything I set out to do. <br /><br />And when my work screams, I scream back. I want to get back to them, and will with a refreshed eye and thought.

It's kinda freaking me out. Writing was a FUN thing for me and suddenly it's like agony. siiiigh.

BUT I'm already being tugged at to get the proposal for the next in this series written up and I find myself wishing I could just go at my own pace and write what I WANT to write.<br /><br />When did this thing turn into a job?

None of my current wips are yelling at me to finish at the moment.<br /><br />MY problem is sitting on my couch, waiting to return to work, lol:) Also, saying yes to other people when I should insist my own work is important too.Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.com
