Well, not exactly, but I thought if I said it aloud and wrote the words down here on my blog it would give me the necessary shove in the right direction.
Ooh what a misog I was in my last post. Sorry about that. Don’t know what came over me, well I do really, but I’m so over all that now. And there’s only a certain amount of wallowing one person can do, isn’t there? I don’t think I’ve quite reached my personal limitation, but I’m nearly there.
The nits are on the retreat. I think.
The rejections have been turned around and are on their way back out there again.
Okay, so the economic black hole is growing larger by the minute, but I’ve taken on board all your spiffing advice and have gone into denial about the whole thing. I mean there’s not a lot I can do about it anyway, so why worry!
And today I finally got down to starting the re-write on IYCSTH. Hooray! At last! I was feeling a bit like the little girl at the back of the class, staring out of the window, not having a clue what was going on or what she should be doing with everybody else scribbling away frantically in front of me. But slowly things have fallen in place and now I have a vague idea of the direction I should be going in. Promising, huh?
Things are definitely a lot cheerier this end. Oh yes.
I hope things are cheery your way too.

Wallow whenever you want, it's your blog and you can't be happy all the time - writing plays on my nerves and emotions like crazy. Sometimes you've just got to vent.
Congratulations on starting the rewrite! I never find it easy to start a rewrite, it's just so daunting.
But what if the scribblers in the class are just doodling instead? :) And you staring out the window gives you that lovely "thinking" time all writers need. Good luck!
Well done on starting the rewrite, that's really good news. All we can do is spread our own little bit of happiness amidst all the real world craziness.
Soooo glad you are much happier this week. But like Yvonne says, its your blog and you can't be happy all the time! (As you know, I'm up and down like a blinking yoyo on mine! :-))
Brilliant news that you are starting the rewrite - good luck with it - you go girl!
It's hard to stay positive all the time. I think a short time of gloom is needed occasionally. It makes the 'up' time all the more welcome.
Good luck with the rewrite, Maddie.
I think we all feel like that kid at the back of the class at some point or other. Generally I feel like that from Monday - Friday or at least several times a week, so you're not alone there.
Glad you're feeling more positive and well done on starting the rewrite.
In fact, I am that girl today at work!
Nobody can be perky all the time. That would be weird:-)
Glad you're back in the groove and turning those rejections around. Make 'em work for you:-)
I'm glad you're feeling more positive - it's a bloomin' rollercoaster isn't it?!
The good thing about downs is that they are followed by ups, and ups feel so nice.
Glad you're feeling more cheery. May your next down be short and shallow and followed by even more Positive Thoughts.
Cheeri-er here, kneewise, just a bit. Actually RAN up the stairs for first time in weeks today. I shouldn't have, of course, but it felt good all the same :-)
Well done on the writing - you seem to be going great guns right now.
I think it is the prerogative of a creative disposition to be up and down emotionally, as it seems all of us who write experience it reguarlly. Glad you are feeling better now.

There's a little award for you at my place - do stop by!
Hey, Maddie, we're missing you...
