It is about the writing--not the huge success--but I do understand the acknowledgment thing. It's a twisted cycle, this whole process. But I do find it comforting that we're in this together--as cheesy as it sounds. :) It's a struggle, but it's cool that we can lift each other up and support each other.

And I can understand how hard it can to shift back into an old routine after a long break, especially when so much is going on in your life. But sometimes the best way to get back into the groove is to forge a new one.

I can get through the ultimate boring books--just check out my classics list--but we hold modern writers to a different standard, eh? It's a constantly evolving art too. What was considered good writing thirty years ago is now considered tedious. My mantra is "tension all the time."Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315590614767346504.post-65195317660880307502013-11-24T18:43:56.023-08:002013-11-24T18:43:56.023-08:00Good to hear from you too!
