So I've decided I'm going to spotlight some of my OTHER favorite things, namely ones that never make me miserable. And some of which look damn good shirtless. Here goes:
1) Hotties
Have I mentioned my massive crush on Tom Welling? A few hundred times? 'Kay, just checking |
Oh, heeeey James Marsden, heeeey |
Let's see some fancy swordwork, Prince Charming. |
2) Fudge Brownie Sundaes
3) Chocolate Chip Cookies
4) The Beach
5) Newport, Rhode Island
6) My Ipod
And lastly, my CP's and their stories. I basically have the best crit group ever, and I am so lucky to know them and to get to read their beautiful writing. So much that I can still wave my pom poms for them, even when I want to take my own ms and flush it down the toilet.
So peeps, do you have have days when you hate on your writing? What are the other things that keep you going?
Yes! And it's very depressing, because I don't really want to read other people's books when I'm unhappy with my own. Usually, I end up watching TV or maybe painting something. (like a wall, not a picture!)
ReplyDeleteLove your hotties!
Don't forget what your CPs are REALLY good for - Keeping the file of your MS on their computers and in their cloud drives so that it doesn't get ruined when you FLUSH IT DOWN THE FREAKING TOILET.

Seriously, G, if I wasn't in my current state I'd be getting on a plane to CT now so I could smack some sense into you.
But since I can't do that, I'll just be content to glare, and giggle at how freaking HILARIOUS you are in this blog post.

Um, yeah, I'm with Leigh Ann on this! *hoards copy of LYM*
ReplyDeleteApart from Sarah Dessen, LYM is the only contemp romance that drew me in, wouldn't let me go and made me CHEER for the MC's. It is fantastic!
Yep, hatred is part of the process. So long as you end up loving it in the end, I don't see the harm in wanting your MS to die in a fire for a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI love this list! Especially James Marsden and those cookies--yum! Ha, I hope you stop hating your WiP soon!
ReplyDeleteNooo why are you hating on LYM? I'm going to start reading it soon and will tell you all about how awesome it is. But, you know, pics of hot guys isn't exactly the worst way to spend a blog post. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest. I'm sorry you are hatting on your MS right now...but...well, after the hotties and the chocolate chip cookes and fudge sundae, I went right back to the hotties.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry and very interested in seeing more...hotness :-)
Ooh, chocolate chip cookies! *gobbles*
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sorry you're hating on your WiP. Maybe a little distance and then it'll apologize and you guys can have make up hugs?
Those cookies make me hungry! I think it helps to have at least one other WIP going at the same time, kind of a fall-back thing. Sometimes it helps to re-read books or re-watch movies that do something right in a way I could use for my book.
ReplyDeleteI know those days. And dang, I want a cookie now!
ReplyDeleteyou made me MORE excited to read this MS somehow...
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's french fries can cheer me up any day.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, you'll work things out eventually.
Getting outside is a big one for me. Loved my time in Newport when our town got slammed with what is now known as "Snowtober" in October. It was my little getaway.
