Sounds to me like you have a good process, and the passion! <br />As for me... I spend a lot of time circling my "zone" like it's a dark pool of chilly water that I know I have to jump in to in order to survive. Once I'm in? Sublime. Fear, and the The Great Time Waster are always by my side, holding me back and poking me to do other things. Sigh. As Colleen said, "hang in there!" It will help the rest of us to do so, too :)Elizabeth Rose Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725663688810441280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341410742372767723.post-65470116079166584002011-09-20T14:02:33.010-05:002011-09-20T14:02:33.010-05:00Oh do I know how this feels.

It doesn't make it much easier, but at least we know it's normal and it can be overcome! Keep at it & best of luck to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341410742372767723.post-40965144187028589272011-09-20T13:33:06.365-05:002011-09-20T13:33:06.365-05:00Thank you for sharing & the words of encourage...Thank you for sharing & the words of encouragement Colleen!

Persistence is everything in this field. You should see the stack of rejection letters that I have for my upcoming debut. It's a mile high and about four years long...and that's the second novel. The first novel, forget it...a hundred rejection letters at least. But all it took was one person to say YES to my second novel. <br /><br />Your YES will come, it will.
