I have so been there. Yes, sometimes we need a break from it to allow ourselves to stew on it while others put their energy into it. A great synergy!DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-47361789893128304272015-05-20T17:07:05.349-05:002015-05-20T17:07:05.349-05:00Congratulations on your release day!

I spent all day Tuesday laboriously cranking out a chapter 1 slow word at a time.)<br /><br />I sent it off today to my CPs and husband -- and I know their feedback will give me the strength to crank out another chapter.<br /><br />I couldn't do this writing thing if it wasn't for my CPs, beta readers, ProjectMayhemmers, and KidLitAuthor Club folk. We need each other!Dianne K.

It's like checking in with someone to keep moving forward - and keep yourself accountable. I took a novel writing class once where my partner and I swapped out chapters each time we wrote a new one with the same idea in mind.
