And thank you for saying this:<br /><br />Not every book is going to feel like you’re riding the back of a unicorn sprinkling glitter and rainbows. Some are painful, messy, and nearly impossible to complete. <br /><br />I've been having trouble with a WIP and reading that helped :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-65580252711594347352013-07-23T12:37:28.618-04:002013-07-23T12:37:28.618-04:00I agree - love that advice.

I'm always hoping to find a writer who writes what I want to read, but only Diana Wynne Jones has come close to scratching that itch. But I've read all her books now, and it seems the only way I'll get more is to write them myself.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.com
