Yes. Yes."<br /><br />Honestly, I miss writing just for me. I miss not agonizing over whether I should use an adverb or a dialogue tag. I miss just telling stories. <br /><br />Do whatever you need to do to find the love again. And I know you will!Jennifer Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783975547643539868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-55603043024582503472011-07-18T08:56:36.402-05:002011-07-18T08:56:36.402-05:00I think this is an excellent idea.

Before I even knew the terms "head-hopping" and GMC. Good luck with keeping those internal editors quiet.<br /><br />I've been listening to old RWA Nationals tapes recently and there have been a few talks about the joys of writing crap. Just have fun, go with the flow, no one will read it but you, and you can fix it later. <br /><br />This is something I'm trying to regain, the joy of the story.Luanna Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594016051931769407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-13934828956866749192011-07-18T08:23:35.086-05:002011-07-18T08:23:35.086-05:00This is one of the reasons why I started trying to...This is one of the reasons why I started trying to do some "free writing" every day. To just write for the sake of writing. I haven't kept up with it, but it is great to just write for yourself and not worry about how others will react.Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-34366532497209271302011-07-18T08:09:38.309-05:002011-07-18T08:09:38.309-05:00Good for you, B.E. - and I do wish you luck, I kno...Good for you, B.E. - and I do wish you luck, I know you can do it (I believe writing's in your blood).<br /><br />I totally understand the writing for the sake of writing - it's hard to go back to that when you are constantly thinking about proper form, GMC, revisions, etc. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing about your progress :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
