I Get This

Was visiting Alexandra Sokoloff and am so glad she posted this entry. This rings soooo true for me:

It’s unfortunate that I had to leave off on that one at the very worst possible time to leave a book – 3/4s of the way through a first draft, that Slough of Despond where you realize that you never had the slightest bit of talent to begin with, that in fact elves wrote your last four books, along with everything else you’ve ever written, and you might as well go do that other thing that you can’t do because no writer is really equipped to work at anything else, but you better figure something out fast, because your writing career is officially over.

Yeah. I know this feeling. I go through it with each and every book.

*Sigh*

Okay, back to work for me.
