It's just that I can't commit -- when I re-read my I see that the story, the characters could go in so many ways and then I can't find the passionate thread that lead me there in the first place! I once read that the most important thing someone learned from a MFA in creative writing was to finish -- to pick one thread and see it through to completion. It's that deadline and letting go. And clearly so many writers do that -- look at all the great and not so great books out there to read. But that's my issue, keeping the passion burning for the thread I've chosen to write to the finish line! And FYI, I used the photo I did because it makes me look young! A rare moment in hair straightening and reduced carbs!!
