BTW, I got This Dame for Hire today. :) I'm trying to finish my novel by May 18th--that's when my husband will be home from Scotland and boy, is my life going to change. So then I'll start my rewriting... and my reading.

Is it a relief in some ways? Maybe you've pushed too hard for too long. Or is it scary? (God, in the background here on the radio is the music for some depressing forties movie and it's making me quite sad. Maybe Rachmaninoff?). <BR/>Why not write a short story? I think you do easily and beautifully and the investment is so much less. Of course, I always recommend that. Even to myself.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208953.post-22855339686122461292007-05-01T15:07:00.000-04:002007-05-01T15:07:00.000-04:00Well, if I'm just tired of this then that's that. ...Well, if I'm just tired of this then that's that. I'll be retired as I'm far too old to do anything new.<BR/> <BR/>As for ordering my books, I thank you. I hope you like them.

My mother is fond of saying there are different seasons in our life; maybe you're just tired of this. But as far as who cares about your books, I do...even though I've never read one. It distresses me to know that you're not writing. I believe you have many more exciting stories to tell. At the risk of being told it's none of my business, I'm going to say that I can't help but feel you're too tough on yourself and too tough on your ideas. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you'll forgive my mouthiness if I tell you that I got my copy of Too Darn Hot yesterday from Amazon. I thought they'd send This Dame for Hire first but . . . it's on its way. Might be at the post office today. I won't be reading them right away though... I have some first chapters to judge for a contest, and some critiques to do, but I just want you to know that I'm sending good thoughts your way and for what it's worth, praying you get productive soon.Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.com
