If we focus on the process instead of the product, we can accomplish what we need to do. Best of luck! Enjoy that wine. And yes, breathe!Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-44259542324265232492013-07-25T19:57:27.732-05:002013-07-25T19:57:27.732-05:00I third that (certifiably insane).

Breath and have a glass of wine (that's what I say to myself). <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925934256050681032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-11196385790110064052013-07-25T19:12:06.073-05:002013-07-25T19:12:06.073-05:00:-):-)Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-36608184062594065712013-07-25T17:32:25.454-05:002013-07-25T17:32:25.454-05:00Yes—ha!

Every single time I manage to finish a book that isn't a piece of crap, part of me says, "but, of course," while another part of me says, "whew! lucked out again."Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-24005216558961791482013-07-25T05:15:32.726-05:002013-07-25T05:15:32.726-05:00Linda, this is actually comforting to me. Finding ...Linda, this is actually comforting to me. Finding a way to let the story out and work it through, sticking with it until you have something to offer—with all the self-doubt yet having enough confidence to keep going... In order to create a person has to be willing to face real or imagined failure. It's always there. But you know all that, and you keep on.Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051850324215622990.post-78758908508062763732013-07-25T00:43:25.259-05:002013-07-25T00:43:25.259-05:00I think so, Pat.
