The cure for all of this is critical thinking. I could explain it in detail, but I don’t want to write a self help book. If you don’t have the force of will no amount of reading can help.

“Oh, you took recovery time because you can’t sit on the potty without a Life Alert bracelet?” Hilarious! So is “*stabs Plymouth Rock in my mind*” and those are just a couple examples of FUN in this post. Fun, fun, fun is a necessity. I’m a firm believer in fun. I guess that’s why I admit I’m a goofball. Goofballs seem to attract other goofballs. Goofball + goofball = fun, fun, fun. Your posts are always fun!

This is so me! It’s taken me decades to realize that it was okay to have fun while writing – and that it was also okay to turn that fun “chore” into a job and still have fun doing it! Thanks for writing this!

Are you serious Kristen? Lora and I communicated about this today and we would both love to do this. She’s right in what she posted above. A writer, no matter how good, will never publish anything worthwhile unless s/he listens to and cooperates with a good editor who loves her story and wants to make it even better. An editor, no matter how skilled and experienced, will never amount to much without the cooperation of a writer who is willing to work with her as a team, productively, shedding ego involvement.

Spontaneity and fun seem to go hand in hand. Some of my happiest times were not been planned. Like my 90ish mother-in-law, also known as “Reno Red” says, ‘you only live once, honey, enjoy it as much as you can.’ Great post. Thank you.

Loved this. I always feel a day late and a dollar short, and I’m running as fast as I can. I’ve spent so much money with experts and have been taken to the cleaners by them. I came to the realization that I’m getting pretty long in the tooth and I’m missing the sunshine. Finishing the chapter is great. Being productive is wonderful, but so is living before I die.

In reply to Jini Ellyne (J. Ellyne). Jini, you are a gem & an editor's dream writer! I hope that everyone who reads these comments will take them to heart. Success comes by teamwork between two people with the same goal & mutual respect, even though they have different roles. Working together, they produce something more powerful, beautiful, and impactful than alone. Thank you for the encouraging note! It made my day!
