I can sit down and write regularly.<BR/><BR/>M&T, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Karen, thanks. The key for me is the one scene at a time... <BR/><BR/>Queenie, it is, you've hit the nail on the head. The praise means I can stop worrying (a bit) about certain things and concentrate on worrying about the things that need more work. The critical points are hopefully what will make me improve but the praise has been important for my self belief.<BR/><BR/>Sheepish, thanks m'dear. Come on now ... because we always knew you could do it. It was me we were in doubt about. So keep up with me.<BR/><BR/>Helen, thank you. I hope I can keep it up too.<BR/><BR/>Angie, there must be somewhere over there ... although I'm doing it all online! I think I struggle a bit to change heads, but recognising it was a huge leap forwards.Jenny Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640209636605410939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-64380674350330924782009-03-11T05:28:00.000+07:002009-03-11T05:28:00.000+07:00That's a good way to approach the process.

I think I struggle most in making the shift from the creative to the critical mindset, and I'm still sorting out how to make the mental jump.<BR/>I would love to find a group like the TLC over here.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-88733143524621239302009-03-11T02:00:00.000+07:002009-03-11T02:00:00.000+07:00That sounds brilliant.

I find I need the positive comments for encouragement (although they don't work unless I believe them, so they have to be real) and the critical comments for improvement. Both are essential for me.<BR/><BR/>It's also like being an alcoholic because it's so addictive!Queeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988379866736219329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-20431879723946557222009-03-10T23:18:00.000+07:002009-03-10T23:18:00.000+07:00It is odd how once you start writing, the words se...It is odd how once you start writing, the words seem to keep coming and a deadline is a great way of making sure that they do!

That's the predicament I'm in now (and am so often in). For me the trick is to believe that the idea and the words will actually come to you, if ou can just get yourself to sit there and let it happen. I'm so glad the Literary Consultancy is working for you. I've been wondering about them for myself and this new book, to be honest....but well done! You really are doing great! xoSue Guineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556228394020314560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-69614781631000441562009-03-10T17:28:00.000+07:002009-03-10T17:28:00.000+07:00You're doing so well.xYou're doing so well.xDeborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-12443471650866672142009-03-10T17:06:00.000+07:002009-03-10T17:06:00.000+07:00That sounds really good JJ - very very encouraging...That sounds really good JJ - very very encouraging.
