However, I agree with you, the road to success is more like the squiggly line for sure!<br /><br />I find there are days when I can write great, the words just flow out of me. While other days I struggle for motivation and have to fight for each sentence. It's aggravating. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the motivation today!Leigh Covingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377634002477171615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457416499008334455.post-58949075373903812662012-08-22T14:19:11.135-07:002012-08-22T14:19:11.135-07:00Next time Sexy and I Know It plays, I'm going ...Next time Sexy and I Know It plays, I'm going to sing "squiggle, squiggle, squiggle" (instead of "wiggle").

Some people charge straight through and some need to make a few detours, so both in my opinion are examples of successes. The only failure would be A=====. Which is to say never making it to point B. If I ever get published, my line is going to look like spaghetti hitting the floor. Anyway, glad to see you're getting back into your writing groove. I lost mine a while back and it sucks. But slowly, without forcing anything, the itch to write will come back. <br /><br /><br />Elise Fallsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734537117333738468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457416499008334455.post-32903418497243586352012-08-22T09:36:25.309-07:002012-08-22T09:36:25.309-07:00I think there should be markers along the way, too...I think there should be markers along the way, too, because I celebrate small successes on the way to the big success.
