Survivor Guilt?
Whenever I’m super busy writing I do little to no blogging. I just can’t. I think the well only holds so much creativity and between family obligations (of which there are MANY!) and just basic work, I haven’t had time.
Who could have foretold this pandemic would have such an impact on our lives?
And who could have imagined that I could emerge through this difficulty in tact.
Certainly not me.

“I have a pesky little critic in the back of my mind. He's a permanent fixture and passes judgment on everything I write.
In order to placate him, especially when I'm endeavoring to write anything as ambitious as a novel, I have to constantly mutter, 'I'm not writing a masterpiece, I'm not writing a masterpiece.'
This mantra lulls him into a kind of stupor so that he pays no attention to what I'm doing, because after all, I'm not claiming it's any good. Slowly, and secretly, one page at a time, I write my story.
I know I've succeeded when he grudgingly admits, 'That's pretty good.' And if I'm lucky, every once in a while, I blow him away.”
