All of you! Those who offer encouragement through comments, and those who lurk, supporting me by mere presence.
As my last post indicated, I was feeling some doubt about my writing. Your thoughts kicked me into gear, and I was able to take advantage of my family's quiet, restful time yesterday afternoon. I wrote 1500 words on the WIP!
I feel renewed, and assured of the fact that just writing is the most important thing. It occured to me that what I'm doing with this manuscript right now is laying the groundwork: It doesn't have to be perfect; I just have to get the basic gist out. Later I can go back and make it "flawless."
So today I set out with plans to open the WIP again - and avoid the internet as best I can. *tries not to hyperventilate*
Go me!

That's great, Janna. I'm so glad you're feeling better about your writing. Just remember: a little goes a long way. Every word you put down is a step toward your goal.
Hey Janna,
I love the "go me" and may borrow it sometime.
Happy Writing!

Aw, Kat, thanks!
I think we all go through those doubting days. Glad you're back to your writing self! Happy writing ...
That's the key. Free yourself from perfection. It'll come in time.
Hugs to you! (And don't cha love Sundays?)
Way to go, Janna! It's so awesome to have the support of fellow writers, isn't it? :-)
Joanne - I'm still going to consider what we talked about, though. ;)
Woman, that's HUGE for me - letting go of my anal tendencies for perfection.
Kelly - It was an awesome Sunday all around!
Oh goodness, Melissa, no way could I get by without it! :)
Keep at it! We all have our moments of doubt but the page pulls us to write. That is the mark of a true writer.
Yay Janna! I'm late to the party but I'm glad everyone helped motivate you. Now flag that post so you can reread it the next time you're feeling less than stellar.
wow that encouraged me! Good luck on your WIP
Rafael - Yay! I'm a true writer! :)
Melanie - Better late than never, right? ;)
T. Anne - Welcome! I'm so glad we can draw that encouragement from one another. Best to you, as well. :)
That's an awesome accomplishment. Just keep kickn' Janna!!! You're allowed to stop the world a minute and get off, but be sure and get back on after a couple of spins. ; )
Thanks, Kimmi! I just plan not to get dizzy. ;) Wah wah wahhhh...
Congrats on a job well done!

Great job on the 1500! Keep up the great work!

I'd only be for self-motivation.
