It would be nice if there were a blueprint though. ;)<BR/>Thanks for the lovely award!<BR/><BR/>Chad, that's a good reminder. Running always puts me in a better mood, but I haven't been very dedicated lately. I need to work it back into my schedule.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-70176851007618047892009-02-28T12:42:00.000-08:002009-02-28T12:42:00.000-08:00It sounds like a good time to go for a run.

I can see myself spending another year on the story, possibly longer, another draft or two. I am pretty slow and meticulous myself, but this is a good thing. BTW, I have nominated you for a blogger's award! When you get a chance please pop over and collect. Thank you.Law and Orderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833525664073965207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-5981231730144606842009-02-27T13:40:00.000-08:002009-02-27T13:40:00.000-08:00JJ, yay, I'm glad it cheered you!

And thanks for the hugs. :) Only two days til March...<BR/>The bamboo forest was fascinating and so different from anything I've ever seen here. <BR/><BR/>Aspiring, I'd guess February is a favorite month on your side of the world, a bit like July here. Thanks for the hug and the good luck, I need them both.<BR/>Sadly I'm on my second draft and it's been 2.5 years, but I'm a slow, meticulous writer and I can't seem to change that. I do think the third will be the final draft for me, which is good. The long haul is worth it if you get the story right and you're happy with the outcome. Cheers.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-50732756433914345382009-02-25T19:52:00.000-08:002009-02-25T19:52:00.000-08:00It's a lovely summer here in New Zealand, although...It's a lovely summer here in New Zealand, although it get's a bit moody and decides to rain, or you're pulling out the woolly duvet, next. Anyway, it's lovely now. I am sorry to hear you're feeling a bit low. We all have our moments, I suppose. Just wanted to give a virtual hug :-) and to say good luck with completing your draft by April. I'm on my third draft and it's been a year and a half since I started. It feels such a long haul but worth it in the end, I'm sure. So chin up and keep at it. Take care. Love the photos by the way.Law and Orderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833525664073965207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-27222776672116034732009-02-25T16:46:00.000-08:002009-02-25T16:46:00.000-08:00Oh and it has cheered me up.

The picture of the bamboo forest is just like the forest I was in at the weekend.Jenny Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640209636605410939noreply@blogger.com
