My blog gets lonely! :(.<BR/>Yes, after my last few books, where I was stressing too much about the quality of my writing, this time, I'm just letting it all hang out :)<BR/>That's what rewriting is for. I know I'm going to go waaaaayyyy over word count, but I'd rather have stuff to cut than try to structure myself too much at this point.Ruth Axtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792344925778428818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828608862768925311.post-54749237811263109062008-03-16T23:59:00.000+02:002008-03-16T23:59:00.000+02:00Yeah, Ruth, I like the part about giving yourself ...Yeah, Ruth, I like the part about giving yourself permission to write garbage.

I'm not a published author yet, but I know that when I gave myself the same permission I was able to get some writing done. If I wasn't constantly self-censoring, I could actually get some words written.Nike Chillemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401400365872109333noreply@blogger.com
