At Just the Right Time

I got a really nice letter from someone who just finished Repo Chick. The reader really enjoyed the book, and took the time to tell me so.

This email came at just the right time because I'm struggling with a roaring case of I SUCK lately. This happens during the writing of every book, I'm sure I've mentioned before on this blog, many times. So this email helped me through the writing session today, when all I wanted to do was gaze out the window at the falling snow.

I still have a ways to go before I finish the first pass of Frost. This one is kicking my ass. It feels like work right now, and I like writing much better when it's fun. I'll feel better after I get to the end.

This one is emotionally draining for me, so I need to do something fun in between the sessions to balance it out.

Today, I'm cooking pork loin and shopping with ma. We'll pick up my little bean later and he'll be a little clown, as usual, and all the squirmy feelings from the writing session will fade away :)
