You can’t be ‘normal’ and be a writer.

I almost wrote “and normal” after “necessary” in the post, and then I thought, “maybe it’s just me!” I know I’m not always normal.

I think it’s pretty darn normal to feel hot-cold about your manuscript. If you thought the entire thing was the best thing ever written, then you wouldn’t be a writer, IMO. LOL

This is helpful, Teri. I feel the same way about my wip right now, like I’d rather drive nails into my eyes that look at it one more time. Writing does destroy the creator, because a piece of themselves lives on the page.

stop listening to the demons…stop listening to the demons…stop listening to the demons… hey, how is it that we can tune out even our kids when we are reading a good book, but when it comes to writing our good book, we can’t stop listening to the demons? we need to utilize the same skill – to tune out the world while we are in creation mode.
