It's more like "big black hole to hell"="sucking donkey dickage". Or something like that. Marcy, the only thing that really changes is that instead of thinking "I suck and nobody will ever read my work" you think "I suck and everybody's going to read my work and know how bad I suck." They are both pretty awful. Kate...write like the wind woman! Kimberly, sometimes I feel like that. More often I feel like I'm putting the words down, but they're not connecting with my brain. In any case it bites. Glad I could help you. Not so sure about “big black hole to hell”=”night vision camera”. It’s more like “big black hole to hell”=”sucking donkey dickage”.

I too am glad to know that published authors go through the "everything sucks" pity party. some days, I feel like a child learning to write my letters, having trouble just putting one word in front of the other. here's hoping for a speedy recovery, and thanks for sharing.

Ugh. Ehle: boy howdy, does that create a mental image. I think the main question is WHOSE style. Like, the style of a big black hole to hell? Phillipa: welcome back, and no, they haven't. Fran: no news can be good news. It takes agents a long time. Keep on keeping on and hit the damn crows with a broom. Sue: they are normal. Ugh.
