We have to know all that happened, but the reader doesn't. <br /><br />Andrea, this is why we have to plow through all the parts we know we're going to cut eventually.

Sometimes, I find I just sit there at my desk, stuck, like I have no where to go, or no clear way to get to the end. But you're right, you need to just keep plowing through it and you'll get there eventually.Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-15254588113291662142010-02-11T03:05:43.447-05:002010-02-11T03:05:43.447-05:00What I really find difficult is getting rid of all...What I really find difficult is getting rid of all the padding I don't need. The only way I can manage this is by telling myself it all happened, but nobody but me needs to know about it. Once I convince myself of that, I can get rid of almost anything.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041339749785242409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-42053444945035846692010-02-08T15:17:51.325-05:002010-02-08T15:17:51.325-05:00I goofed, ladies.

Much harder when we're together. Perhaps this is why it's so hard to follow the golden rule.<br /><br />Marcia, why are we always in a hurry? Nothing of value ever comes quickly.

It's like I have to actually create some of the world -- start writing -- before I can come up with more. Kind of like how God leads me through life instead of giving me a blueprint?Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-31021100840566852552010-02-08T13:52:39.206-05:002010-02-08T13:52:39.206-05:00Vijaya,
