If you're willing to take a good hard look in the mirror and pull out the emotional garbage that is weighing you down and holding you back, you'll be that much farther ahead than those who chose to wallow in their self-pity. It's not easy. And sometimes writing it down and getting it out of your head is a good tool to use.<br /><br />*hugs*<br /><br />DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228827774140351030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391971838814490454.post-68846548143187594852009-07-31T16:28:13.709-07:002009-07-31T16:28:13.709-07:00Everyone meet sputnitsa, my new best friend...

And on all the rest you're going to do, including the rewriting that doesn't bring up the word count but makes each word count even more.

Either pm or at swiener1[at]tampbay.rr.com I won't give you advice, unless you want it and I'll listen, try to make you feel better, and give ya hugs and cake. So stop by my inbox at AW or at my private one. I'm here for you as all your friends are. Hope you're feeling better. While I don't have PMS anymore, I do have those feelings you describe sometimes, so can relate.

Actually, maybe it was more than a week. Yeah, PMS too. But even before it was started I was like, "Where is this blog going?" Not a fun place to be. But your attitude about it is excellent. No wallowing for us!spamwarriorhttp://theperfectlady.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391971838814490454.post-20067044647542455752009-07-31T00:53:06.200-07:002009-07-31T00:53:06.200-07:00Disclaimer:

I went through (am still going through maybe?) a similar phase with my WIP, just suddenly, out of nowhere, hating the hell out of it, but in my experience (and you seem to already know this, so I guess I'm just comisserating) if you just hold back from making decisions when you're in a down-mood, it all works out. In my case, I did a pretty long read of the WIP after I felt a bit better about it, and came away loving it more than ever.<br /><br />As far as the self-pitying artist thing goes, that is 200% true. There is clinical, chemical depression... but a lot of it is attitude. I remember when I was a teen, I went through a time where I was really depressed, and even prescribed Prozac. It didn't do much for me. After I got through that period, I realized the reason it didn't do anything was because I wasn't really depressed--at least, not anymore than any average, functioning human being. The world is depressing, even if you're 100% healthy, so it's very easy to get depressed without having any particular condition or artistic plight. Ironically, realizing this tends to cheer me up.<br /><br />And hey, completing a novel is a big deal!Salishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845741086758175043noreply@blogger.com
