Never. I had to learn to switch out a very active, very involved life with a hugely busy job to sitting in my office like a hermit, hoping no one knocks on the door and spoils my Coleridge moment. Don't give up and don't let anyone tell you you can't do something. Seriously. I can't lift weights or run a marathon, but I can sure as hell write about them. :) You can too. A dear friend of mine has had multiple stories published by Trues. You keep up the good work and come back and let me know how you're doing.<br /><br />Oh, and think of it this way (I do): some of the greatest works of literature were written on narcotics: Alice in Wonderland, Kubla Khan, all of Edgar Allen Poe and Ernest Hemmingway. If they can do it, we can. Trust in yourself. :)Celina Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581883122727085849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26892817.post-10208781778601294102010-04-12T14:53:12.597-04:002010-04-12T14:53:12.597-04:00I don't see how you work in pain.

I have fibromyalgia and blame it but alas, can do so no more now I've read your blog!~!~!~!~!~!~ Pretty exclamation points-uh, anyway I felt like my pain pills killed my writing but ALAS AGAIN I see you working still, thanks for showing me the error of my way. I am a writer for Trues (Ya know 'em from the supermarket & novella writing is being so difficult I feel like bashing my head against the wall and it sounds like fun to me. Congragulations and six brownie points and sixteen bows with forehead touching floor in self-effacement, I am not worthy, I am not worthy.....Blesses on the elf killings, do you do people too?cindystubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248795174052614440noreply@blogger.com
