Bein' too hard on yourself? Sure. But you were being too hard on yourself because the stupid, horrendous, terrible, NYC rain changes things and makes everything seem so much worse and so much more difficult. (I got caught in it, too.)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049441039504745936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084154078059733636.post-14682277584046088942010-09-28T16:49:38.159-07:002010-09-28T16:49:38.159-07:00Thank you so much Kasy!

I think because some of my closest friends are "real writers" (lots and lots and lots of education in writing, they teach writing, etc...) sometimes I have trouble thinking about writing "professionally." But I really appreciate you saying that, it encourages me to keep working on this book and GET IT FINISHED!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824732006483567214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084154078059733636.post-42800388632287076872010-09-28T16:26:52.111-07:002010-09-28T16:26:52.111-07:00Mindy I can commiserate with you however after man...Mindy I can commiserate with you however after many years of beating myself up and always trying to be the best at everything and everyone I decided that its okay to be late sometimes and its okay to be unprepared. In the grand scheme of life I didn't break the law and I didn't hurt anyone, life goes on with a deep breath. Of course its not good to make things like this a habit but sometimes is okay and when things like that keep you from doing something then its meant to be. You weren't meant to be on the 8:10 train , you weren't meant to walk across a particular street at that exact time. Something held you up for a reason a reason that we will never know but keep in mind that you are breathing and your class was happy to have you there. Keep your chin up and take a deep breath. I love reading your posts by the way. Have you ever considered writing professionally?<br /><br />Kasy Wetzel (Valentine)Kasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339591934876627198noreply@blogger.com
