I can't figure out whether to do what a love (fiction) that doesn't really fit with my life, or do what fits with my life (self-help book) but I can't get excited about.<BR/><BR/>As a therapist, I tell people if they just stick with the conflict long enough, they'll find a way through. And I'm pretty good as a therapist, so I must be right, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-9483423023899424382008-03-08T10:54:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:54:00.000-05:00Cathy,I'm going to a woman in Shadyside who I real...Cathy,<BR/><BR/>I'm going to a woman in Shadyside who I really like so far.<BR/><BR/>Yep, Mike, being around other writers and hearing about their problems/solutions can do wonders for my writing as well. As can reading. It's amazing how many times I've had an "aha!" about my own work while reading someone elses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-87660155062349633622008-03-08T10:43:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:43:00.000-05:00The falling ceiling tile says it all! Thanks, Kath...The falling ceiling tile says it all! Thanks, Kathy, for the all-too-vivid description of what fear can do to one's imagination. All I'll say is I know of what you speak. As for translating that into my writing, I'm not sure I've reached that point yet, tho the scene I'm struggling with now in my rewrite probably falls into that category. I do know that exposing myself to other writers and just talking about the process and the business has enabled me to break through some barriers, resulting in more interesting characters who have depth and meaning (at least I think they do!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-46089178679861369572008-03-08T10:36:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:36:00.000-05:00I just LOVE acupuncture.

And I did get better, too, so I'm confident this will help you accomplish your mission. Who are you going to?<BR/><BR/>And get your writing done now. After he/she comes, no such luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
