Don’t sweat it Shelly. You’re doing fine. And the experts say, you should post every 3 days. IT takes that long for your story to float through the blogsphere, and posting too often makes it difficult for readers to keep up. So, you’re doing fine.

Yes, darlin’, but you put me to shame. Writing always seems so easy for YOU and you are so prolific. ~skt

In my younger days, if asked that question, I would have said teach… probably would say the same thing now, really, that is so important not to fail at. But for everything else, I think I will be a cup along with you, though if I roll along like that some of my brains might fall out, then I just might fail.

PS. the voices in your head seem to have done you quite well so far, keep listening.

Marcia, those voices in my head only get me in trouble! Teach! That’s a wonderful goal…but it’s for saints. I could never do it. I like to love ‘em and leave ‘em. Day in and day out, I wouldn’t have patience.

yes, it is hard to post everyday! i’m having a hard time too and i’m not even traveling!!! hope all is well!

When I try to post every day, the muse dries up. The travel is NOT helping! I sit down with the idea to write, and have no connection to the internet. Ick~skt

Thank you God for not letting me see the whole writing every day in November until the 2nd day. Now I am guilt free. Just haven’t had the time or energy to blog lately, I guess I just need to get inspired.

Don’t let those kids wear you out.

You’ve got a lot on your plate, Jen. It’s hard to get everything done. Sometimes there just aren’t any words, too. That’s the wall I hit just as soon as I posted a NaNoBloMo logo! I’m so glad you are guilt free! Teach ME how to do that!~skt

Thank you, Shelly. Your post today triggered a memory and an ‘aha’ moment. I’m truly grateful.

I saw that and linked to it! I’m glad it wasn’t the worthless drivel I thought I was writing:lol:~skt

If I KNEW I couldn’t fail, that would have to mean then that I had finally fleshed out a plot for the “Great American Novel” and I’d then get that sucker written and published. But, since I can’t seem to get beyond page one -can’t figure out what would be the spell-binding topic that would make this fantastic book of universal appeal come together it looks like I don’t need to worry about doing that.

Hey, you don’t HAVE to write that novel. If we were all novel writers, then no one would be reading…or would they? When the time is right, that novel will write itself!~skt

I don’t think about failure, I just keep rolling along. I’m like a Dixie Cup in the wind just tumbling down life’s highway.

GREAT Quote!!! Hope you are enjoying your jacuzzi!!

Ah that jacuzzi is pretty wonderful! I want one at my house. Thanks for the kind words!~skt
