It's Crying Time Again

I know it's been a while since I posted, but there's a good reason. I've been sick. No, not the physical kind...and not the mental kind either. I've been sick to my stomach because I found out one of the multi-published authors in my local Romance Authors chapter just sold a book proposal to Warner with a similar premise to the book I've been slaving over for a year. The one that won third place in the contest. The one that was going to start me on my career as a fiction writer.

So I haven't felt much like writing. I've felt more like crying.

Karyn, I can tell you I'm feeling your pain. You should just forge ahead, finish *your* book and let 'em all eat your dust as it runs up the best seller list!!

Hmmmm. I knew there was something I liked about Bill. Good advice from a Marine!

Angel, I don't believe anyone has ever used anus in a sentence on my blog before...congratulations!

Bill, thanks for your support. It really means a lot to me. And I will finish it. I'm too close to the end not to.

John, while this Bill may be a Marine (I'm not sure) I think you're thinking of a different Bill. As always, thanks for your support, too.

Oops. Sorry Bill! I WAS thinking of THIS Bill. Another "senior moment," I guess.

(Marine or not, I STILL agree with what he said!)

Karyn, sorry I have not been around to give you support. I am sorry to read what has happened to you and all I can say is, don't give up.

I am so sorry for that.
There's two ways to deal with it - you can buy a voodoo doll and practice on it (pick your own victim) OR you can allow yourself a few days of wallowing, then continue with your writing. You will have your moment, Karyn. It will come. Know that much between stabbing the doll with a large pin.
