Luckily, I Have An Appropriate Icon

Very good thing: two people whom I haven't spoken to in regrettably ages but whom I like very, very much were kind enough to friend this journal. Thank you. :)

Funny thing: hammered her feet like hammers seems to be becoming an in-joke for the ages. I've decided to be pleased about this.

Bad thing: Another one of my FList left some thoughtful commentary/critique stuff on my most recent brigits_flame entry, which I found last night, skimmed, and then lost all courage to actually read. I haven't read it yet.

And unfortunately for me--probably because I got another rejection for my novel the same afternoon I was writing the damn entry--where I was merely scared to write anything, now I'm kind of paralyzed with terror and misery.

I have no idea what to work on today. Pape and Danforth? Gills? At the moment I'm feeling like they both suck equally.

I know, I need to get over myself. People love what I write, etc. etc. But today it is especially difficult. Maybe I just need more coffee.

Okay, I'm going to read the critique now.

You certainly may, my lovely mermaid, such as it is.

I read your post about not wanting to write. I didn't comment at the time because I didn't know what to say, but the thing is, you don't have to write. Just like you said. Writing should either make you happy, or should be something you can't live with not doing. If it's not either in your life, then there is no reason to do it, is there? But please remember that you have a lot of people who do enjoy what you write. I for one adore your fantastic imagination.

I also never, ever think you're boring. Just FYI.
