Hope you are well...and your absence is only due to a busy schedule. :)<br /><br />Hope to see you soon!Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-68197939916638312732012-04-06T09:01:29.186-07:002012-04-06T09:01:29.186-07:00Komal! This is wonderful...it really is. :)
Welc...Komal! This is wonderful...it really is. :)<br />Welcome to the club! We've all had those pesky self doubts and taunts from our own mind. It is difficult and scary to send your work to another and ask for a critique. But you did it!<br /><br />Beat them (those doubts and fears) down with a big stick. And then, get to those revisions. You're getting closer and closer with every word replaced, every sentence tightened-up, every redundant word cut. Awesome!Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-15613865105387210512012-04-04T17:05:04.102-07:002012-04-04T17:05:04.102-07:00You know if you ever need a pick me up, just send ...You know if you ever need a pick me up, just send me some more chapters to read. : )I think you are brilliant!Erica Copehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714701602977839696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-49208251155508874492012-04-02T05:39:56.913-07:002012-04-02T05:39:56.913-07:00Kormal, please lift yourself up from the dumps and...Kormal, please lift yourself up from the dumps and put that lovely smile back on your face. <br />Just remember in the end you need to make the final decisions about what will be the end reult of your work. If you make too many changes, then think about it, it won't be your work but your CP's. <br />Make sure to only make the changes that you think are necessary, not everyone of them might be the right for you and your story!<br /><br /><a href="http://cmbrown-books.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">CarolynBrown-Books</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678216576112327332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-39248037158987220232012-03-30T17:36:49.276-07:002012-03-30T17:36:49.276-07:00Aww sweetie.

I can't tell you how difficult it was to read this, but most of all to understand how you're feeling.<br />Sometimes to build yourself up you have to tear a few things down. It's all for something, remember that.<br />You have all the love and support of everyone around you but you also want the truth in how to make what you've created even better.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631604650060987903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-42528260360054849652012-03-27T08:23:00.721-07:002012-03-27T08:23:00.721-07:00You can do it!

But I know I'll still end up upset.

The phrase Defying Gravity always picks me up too!!! So when I see all those fixes, i pop in some music and tell myself it is worth it!Michelle Flickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452307689508498982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-21842664546307876862012-03-26T13:08:33.551-07:002012-03-26T13:08:33.551-07:00Quote posted on my wall: "To write a breakout...Quote posted on my wall: "To write a breakout novel is to run free of the pack. It is to delve deeper, think harder, revise more, and commit to creating characters and plot that surpass one's previous accomplishments. It is to say NO to merely being good enough to be published. It is a commitment to quality."

And after the ride, you feel so refreshed and alive, accomplished even, because you took the chance and survived the ride. And that's why I keep writing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-27855929491367521362012-03-25T21:20:51.731-07:002012-03-25T21:20:51.731-07:00Love your honesty, Komal... and TRUST ME when I sa...Love your honesty, Komal... and TRUST ME when I say we're all there! <br /><br />Writing is such a roller coaster of emotions. The highs are so high and the lows are so low... But you're right, we do keep going. And the best part is, the longer we press on, the better we become. It's incredible to look back and observe your own personal journey. I know I'm floored with where I started to where I am now... and I know in another year hopefully I'll be even stronger. <br /><br />Great post!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747144518868320969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111864691602909100.post-69065159415003918652012-03-25T19:39:39.803-07:002012-03-25T19:39:39.803-07:00Yay you are back!
