If the pressure feels intense in the ...Hello, Lisa. If the pressure feels intense in the early morning, listen to a favorite wordless piece of music (or a song with lyrics that you can't translate). That advice comes from a loose translation of Rumi, but it's worked for me many times<br /><br />You have lots of experience writing for deadlines -- both self-imposed deadlines and those set by others. Try not to dismiss that history of success. <br /><br />You know what you need to do -- and how you work best. Your decision to break from blogging while you finish your ms is one example of your efforts to meet the deadline. <br /><br />You can be sure that I'll be sending good thoughts to you. <br /><br />- Elliot in MinnesotaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087103844166817812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-43423993967778233732013-04-08T04:29:58.333-07:002013-04-08T04:29:58.333-07:00I stand in line for your book!

I am currently reading a Persephone book "Someone at a Distance" (thanks to a recommendation from a friend who took my advice and searched your blog before recently going to London). As I read this most wonderful book, I can see how you have formed the whole premise of your book. It excites me to know end!!<br />Remember why you are doing this. It is because you have a strong love of fine literature, and it inspires how you live your life. <br />As Glenda the good witch said " You 've always had the power my dear.

Not only will this give your mind a rest ( if u let it ), a break from the manuscript will give you new eyes to see what you have written & where it is going.
