I am beginning to think Lille is trying to spare my feelings. She's telling me what I have been writing lately is good but I know it's not. I don't know why I bother to write but the muse won't leave me alone until I put it down. Which would be ok...but then I end up sending it to Lille or even more stupidly I post it somewhere. Save me from myself people, PLEASE!

Mood: bitchy

Lille isn't one to spare a person's feelings, Grumpy. If she says it's good, it's good. Don't sell yourself short; your writing has improved and keeps improving all the time.

Still, if you think it's not, then set it aside and come back to it later. You'll look at it with a pair of fresh eyes and will be able to see what needs to be done--if there is anything--to make it better. There's no law that states you have to post it as soon as you finish writing it.

Whatever you do, don't let that muse get away!!! Keep writing and keep sending it to Lille (heck, if it's TBs, you can send it to me--I promise to be truthful and I don't bite.).

Thanks for the the little pep talk.

Yes our writing is getting better. In fact we are working on a continuation of 'Cause and Effect' at the moment. But my own personal writing? I guess I just don't trust it. Lille and Bluegrass both tell me it's good but I have trouble seeing it. Heck I got Bluegrass to try a different approach to writing so that's something. Working on Lille too. Telling her small is good. Maybe we'll get something out of her soon.

Right now the personal muse is playing with the SN boys and on the dark side, but if it decides to play with the Tracys I'll be sure to send it to you.

Hey! I don't say things to spare you. This is Evil L you're talking about here! Seriously, you write fine. Just because people don't review doesn't mean anything. You write for YOU not for everyone else. If it makes you happy, then keep doing it, forget what anyone thinks. It's YOUR muse, not theirs.

As to me, well I have no inspiration at this point. Maybe once things slow down at work, we'll see.

SMILE! And keep writing!

Sure, sure. Evil...yeah like I believe that. And when do I write for reviews? You know me! They're nice but not needed. It's me who doesn't believe what I write is any good. 'Doubting Thomas', remember? I guess I just expect someone to think the same way I do. IT'S ALL CRAP! And then you go and ruin it by saying it's GOOD!
