I think you have talent. Your writing style reminds me of Ken Follet, who is uber-successful, BTW. Im taking a writing course where 12 others share their work, one is a published. Your work is better than all of them. Try not to have a mental breakdown, everyone thinks they suck at one time or another... ;) Including me. Today, I worked all day and got 150 words. Everyone else? 1500, 700 in 10 minutes. Me? 150 in 8 hours. Soldier on, my friend. Hi – I read your work. I think you have talent.

We are fine. Finally made it back to Portland. When my husband got robbed we had to work to get enough money to come home...so I had to stay off the internet for a while. He still needs new glasses, but he got another drivers license today. We are still waiting for his new phone. This past week was horrible, but I know it could have been worse. I don't know where I stand with my job yet. I am working on The Sentence right now. It's not going so well. My Muse is silent and I don't seem to have enough energy to coax her out of her shell. But at least I'm getting somewhere. Holly- Sorry I left you all worried. We are fine. Finally made it back to Portland.

I have been enjoying it, but Suddenly I find this monkey wrench thrown into my works. "Am I good enough?" and poooof, I am deflated like a balloon, and that's when I needed friends, to put an arm over my shoulders and give a pep talk, or even give a shove, and I got you, and Pencil Neck, and Sarah, and Diane, Robby, Sandy and all, Thanks with tears. I feel sorry for those out there without friends like you to support and comfort when they feel low. I am very fortunate to have you: a thousand cheers to You Holly and Our Community :) Holly, Thanks, I have to enjoy my writing, yes, I will do.

And my son decided today would be the perfect day to make homemade gumdrops. Only, being 8, he doesn't have the patience to actually follow the recipe for kids I found for him. Re-cleaning the kitchen. Such joy. Nothing today; daughter wanting to become a character introduced later, so I got to listen to description of the character she wants to be.
