Karin, so glad Virna helped ya out! Personally, I think it’s knowing that baby is coming and your super-excited mode is in conflict with your writer side. That’s my two-cents! The brain locks up when that happens, don’t ya know.

Can’t wait for the baby news…. Hey, then all you’ll want to do is smooch the baby! Sugars for life!

Not that I’m published, but I say Puke on the page – let it flow out, you’ll know what’s missing later.
You have the chops – stop doubting yourself
(now if I could only take my own advise)
Go forth and write, trust your instincts – it’s all we’ve got!

Yo, Jake, I just sent you and email. I’d love to pick that devious brain of yours. I could use a few twists. Thank you.

Holly, I need more Allison gray matter! Hugs for all of your support. I want his book to be so good, it’s messing with my head!

Jill, I’m writing , I’m writing! (and I wouldn’t mind a little OZ input…)

Virna thank you for skypestorming with me last night! I feel like I can wrap this baby up now! Thank you!

Beth, it *is* self-doubt talking! Ack, hate feeling like this! But, I think after talking with Virna for three hours last night (thanks you again Virna!!!) I have enough to go on, and it’s made a world of difference in my confidence. It’s really weird, it’s not the writing, it’s not even the words, it’s the concept and the execution that has me hung up and doubting. I do need to get the scenes down. today it’s iPod, coffee and carbs!

this is what is so great about the internet! Instant gratification!!!

Edie, I don’t have the DM workbook. I have difficulty with how to books, however I was looking for my SAVE THE CAT to shake things up, and couldn’t find it. However! DM is coming to a local RWA chapter in Jan and I am going to his workshop.

Good luck with your story!!

Just keep writing and stop listening to that voice in your head. (Unless that is your characters talking) This book is in you and you will get it down on paper. Your life is just a whirlwind right now and you’re just going to have to go with the spinning house and see where you end up in the land of Oz. LOL

Yesterday on the Murder She Writes blog after Allison made a comment about herself I reminded her that her writing deserves to make her what she is a NY Times Bestselling Author. What I didn’t mention was that 3 other ladies I adore deserve that title: Jen Apodoca/Lyon, Toni McGee Causey, and YOU!!!

Your writing rocks and I bet if you sit back and let the characters decide what they want to do the book will get written and it will be FANTASTIC. You just have a lot on your plate & baby watch is very important. Try to relax.
