Keep Moving, <br />RE Commit. <br />Like you, I'm trying to write... funny thing is, the books are all easy to start (for me) until I hit the roadblock. That piece of cheesecake in the road, or that long upward hill in my run, or that choice with my protag / antagonist that says... <br />"You can't do this." <br />What do I do? <br />If I eat the cake, stop running & turn back, I fail myself. <br />And corresponding to my work, when I set the hard point aside to just <br />start a new story, I fail again. <br />And I'm too good to do that to myself, in all these things. <br />Thank you for writing this post and giving me another step to take, another word to write, another opportunity to prove that I can do this!Pamela Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350308693959960754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444687581793432522.post-8303647336566184452011-07-30T10:06:54.172-04:002011-07-30T10:06:54.172-04:00OMG, how has no one commented on this post yet????...OMG, how has no one commented on this post yet????<br /><br />First of all, you made me cry, which always signifies to me that something hit me hard. And it's definitely hitting me. I make promises to myself all the time and break them. Wow. I just hadn't thought of that at all.<br /><br />I am SO glad you put this up on the RBW loop because I really needed to hear this today. This commitment is not only a promise to myself, but a gift to myself. I need to remember that.<br /><br />You rock, girl!Gossip Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606755973767030017noreply@blogger.com
