I am angry and frustrated with myself tonight; I keep creating dramas that sabotage myself when I improve. I was getting back on track, slowly, finally decently adjusted from the last round of (family) drama, actually writing again, starting to feel good and move ahead- then whomp, here comes another round. Instead of taking it in stride and writing on, I curled up and quit. It’s been two weeks + since I’ve written a word on a story. I have NO excuse. Now I have to wait until I get home tonight. I know what I need to do, why is it so darn difficult to get myself going and DO it?

I didn’t grow up in a household that was afraid to tell you the truth about anything. No tiptoeing, which as a kid, was both good and bad. But that eventually helped develop rhino skin although some below-the-belt things managed to pierce through that skin. As a writer, this does help and the haters do fuel me as I try to prove them wrong (love the Depp &DiCaprio posters) but there are times you need boosts or small moments of victories to help you keep going, things like podcasts, your post, IWSG, and chocolate.

It’s not just people at work and in the community. Too many people are tiptoeing around family members they can’t divorce. Sad!

Well, I aspire to your level. When I complete this book, I want to be part of the 5% who completes a their book, part of the 5% that try to market it…you know the routine. 😉

LOL. There was a time I had to fake it. Actually I chose it because there is/was another Kristen Lamb who was big in media and wanted to be clearly differentiated so as not to confuse her followers. Yes, we are both blonde, too 😀 .

Thanks Kristen. I love how you put, “Author Kristen Lamb” I wish I had your confidence. But then again, that’s why I like your blog so much.
lol

I can remember when I let someone read the first (maybe 2nd or 4rd) draft of my book. Being an avid reader, I was anxious to hear his thoughts. When he finally sat down to let me know what he thought, I could see indecision on his face. He loved it…in the beginning. But the ending. He figured out the finale before the beginning of the end. At first I was disappointed but upon further examination, he was absolutely right. The ending sucked and honestly, I wasn’t happy about it as I was writing it. HIs opinion had value and fortunately, being on the down slope towards my “golden years” my skin isn’t as thin as it used to be and I was able to recognize his frank, correct observation. Love the picture of the rose vs the dandelions – brilliant.
Looking forward to the next post and perhaps taking a few of your courses. Thanks for holding up a little gilded mirror and a place to check my ego. 😉
