It's just as bittersweet as you describe... non-writers could never understand what we subject ourselves to. But you know, I love how you turn it around and say USE IT. That's the beauty of it. We can turn our torment into art, and that's a beautiful thing. <br />THanks for the inspiring words. :)PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-82598328009742875872012-05-25T01:23:42.657-04:002012-05-25T01:23:42.657-04:00Very good advice.

It's hard some days when I just really, really want that phone to ring, but we have to count our blessings and remember the next step up will hold its challenges and stresses, too. And it's always nice to know the writing community has our backs! :)A.L.

You know... in rats, the surest way to guarantee a behavior is random and sporadic reinforcement, and that is exactly what this does... I mean it isn't random. But we work so hard at EVERYTHING that it can FEEL really random. And the positive reinforcement DOES get closer together as we learn, virtually guaranteeing we will stay engaged once we start hitting it now and then. Just call me Whiskers.<br /><br />Congrats to Elle on her book!Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-42057519467908421022012-05-22T08:06:26.568-04:002012-05-22T08:06:26.568-04:00I've been reading and trying to catch up on yo...I've been reading and trying to catch up on your posts.
