"Thanks Vicki,
It is a question I think every author/writer has to ask themselves which comes with the territory. It feel hard to grasp some days...but when you're in the zone...look out! :)"

"Whoops - I meant call yourself either writer or author. Like I don't think it matters how other people may legitimize those words, but I think you (we!) should feel empowered to call ourselves whatever we feel that we are.
Happy to listen!"

Okay, so yesterday I didn't write. I'm not going to make excuses I didn't feel my vision was there. I know it doesn't hurt for a day or two to waltz by without writing. But when weeks tend to pass and you can't bare ( or is it bear)to sit in that chair, with computer ready and..."NOTHING!" I would much rather watch this ant carrying a spider across my floor..BTW watching this is kind of "hypnotizing"…

Shayla, Delighted to have you in the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread. And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page. Hope you can join us for that.
