Your lucky its been...Hi Andrea, long time no hear!<br /><br />Your lucky its been only three years.<br /><br />Sometimes you just have to let go completely.<br /><br />You'll see, it will return all by itself naturally, just like the tide.<br /><br />Someone I knew wanted to have a baby so badly, but couldn't have one. She was always on her own case about it.<br /><br />Just let it go, I said, forget about having babies. Live, enjoy life. But really, you have to forget completely if you want to have a baby. She wanted that baby so much, so she tried it.<br /><br />Once the pressure was off, and loosened up a bit she had a baby without thinking.<br /><br />Everything comes in its own sweet time!<br /><br />So how does one hang loose? Simply be and know that too is okay.<br /><br />When one puts a book in a drawer for a time, some magical growth happens. New perpectives happen, and all at once, without realizing it, you're just writing away.<br /><br /><br />Are your feelings normal. Yes, this subconscious state is all part of being a writer.<br /><br />Now all I have to do is practice what I preach!<br />Gone to the beach!<br />Have a super weekend!Jacqueline Howetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522485407848765933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623329525857855745.post-30545216075537251922012-04-27T10:03:48.032-04:002012-04-27T10:03:48.032-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jacqueline Howetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522485407848765933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623329525857855745.post-91517092295179458812012-04-26T20:42:14.828-04:002012-04-26T20:42:14.828-04:00It's good to know I'm not alone, Susan.

And by the time I'm done cleaning everything there is to clean, do all the things I've put off, gotten my head back on straight, the writing comes back with a flourish. <br /><br />It's been my experience to dance to the beat of your own drummer. Yes, we SHOULD write everyday, but if what comes out is drivel, then is it really worth it? <br /><br />You do what you need to do. You'll finish your book in your own way in your own time.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
