Thanks for the shout-out, Kelly! That post really seems to be resonating for writers. I guess we're a depressed lot... :)
ReplyDeleteActually I do think writers are more prone to depression, but not sure if it's writing that is depressing or that writing attracts depressives! :)
ReplyDeleteObviously a need for more Diet Mt. Dew....
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You remember that from Madison, right? :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Two agents are looking at my pages. Thanks so much for your critique. I would never have known I was writing YA. Now, I'm like, duh YA.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to hear about both agents! Good luck and keep me posted. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a good piece to read. It is hard to write when you're feeling off, but as they say, if we wrote only when we were inspired we would get very little done. I agree that many writers have anxiety issues. I liked what Linda said about how some days can be very productive and some days are a wash. On those "wash" days, I try to do other creative things that lift my mood like baking, scrapbooking, reading or even organizing my desk. Thanks for the link Kelly.
ReplyDeleteGood point about "wash" days and still being creative, Marian! Thanks for your comment! :)
