But the natural highs are so worth it. The thrill of them can last for days... and then they die down to reality. lol<BR/><BR/>Weird about the meteor.

Kind of like you'd feel when you think of really good friends. But like any friendship, we've had lunch a little too many times and have nothing much to say to one another at the moment. <BR/>So I decided to start another one with some new excitement, and as the result of a challenge that coughed up a new character and even style and enough freedom and self confidence to experiment with it a little bit. <BR/>I don't really believe in writer's block. I have flat days when I feel my writing doesn't zing. And I have high days when I wonder "Gee whiz did I write that?" But the drive and the conquest exist very deep inside me, beside those creepy creepy doubts and fears. But mostly it works when I sit down, face the computer and look at the blank page that I intend to fill with words. I kind of crack my knuckles and say to myself "come on Penny you can do it" and mostly I do.<BR/>I think I just bought the first two Parallel books. I hate starting something back to front. I say think because something happened with the order and the screen went blank on Amazon.I'll have to check my account later on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11981147.post-1156776130020743282006-08-28T10:42:00.000-04:002006-08-28T10:42:00.000-04:00I became insane; with long intervals of horrible s...I became insane; with long intervals of horrible sanity... just about sums it up well doesn't he.
