A new concept I am struggling with of late is understanding how to take feedback but stay grounded in what I believe would be interesting to a YA. My worry and fears are causing me doubt in my writing.

Has anyone else felt this way?

I felt that way yesterday. Today I'm ploughing forward. The rejections get you feeling that way too. But we have to just move past it and try to have faith in ourselves.

personal life experience: I once tripped over a guys school bag (i wasn't watching where I was going and didnt see it on the floor) and literally fell into his arms (of course accidentally slamming both of us into the lockers ;) ). eye stare followed as we were both shocked holding on to one another.

LOL. That's a good one! DH and I did a lot of staring across the room back in the day so I know that's why I'm attached to the scene. I mean, something happens to make him stare, so maybe it will work? *cannot wait to finish draft and hand to betas*

Yeah, mean lizard is gated off in the corner of the tank now with two 8x10 picture frames until I go to the pet store after work. Maybe he thought her toes were crickets....maybe he needs glasses. Nah, he's just a turd.

I had lizards growing up and they pulled each other's tails off, but the worst was when one would get sick and the crickets would attack them. Using pictures frames is smart!

Hi guys. *waves* I'm still horribly sick. Ugh

This is where you might run into trouble with me. It's not so much that I'm pumped, more that my day job has a large marketing component to it.

LOL-- I have that same problem with other projects. :)

Hello!!! Just stepping in for a moment before I got back to working on work stuff. :( I posted a teaser today, and it made me really want to write. And, I can't, because I have to do paid work. Then in the evenings, my parents distract me. I think it'll be at least a week before I can write! It's killing me.

And, my grumbling ceases.

I posted from a scene in Hemlock that I'm pretty sure will get axed.

I won't post because I can't respond to everyone..I'm not a fair weather teaser, lol.

That's why I usually don't comment. I love reading everyones but I can't comment to all and I don't want someone reading into the lack of comment when it's really just a "Kathleen has no time" thing.
