At least I'm not the only one! I think it's the striving towards and wondering whether this novel might be 'the one' (while suspecting it probably isn't) that keeps me going. I've written elsewhere on the blog about what I call 'writer's schizophrenia' (ie the hearing voices in the head bit), but I think this is probably another part of it which I have never admitted to before outside my own head. That's what I love about this blog. It helps me feel relatively normal!Lucy Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774389681477698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-4513608348039917332008-12-20T11:55:00.000+00:002008-12-20T11:55:00.000+00:00Hmm ... or obsessive compulsive disorder perhaps. ...Hmm ... or obsessive compulsive disorder perhaps.
