I know if you try to force the words it doesn't feel natural. I'm lucky that I write whenever I want and that's it. If all else fails, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar takes over. Thinking surreal helps me get through my frustrations. I laugh at the irony of it all.<br /><br />Have a peaceful Sunday.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521754250583623909.post-9639957026803144232014-05-09T16:54:29.175+01:002014-05-09T16:54:29.175+01:00Thanks, Laura.Thanks, Laura.Suzanne Furnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908200156114453054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521754250583623909.post-46147758385513142752014-05-09T16:54:00.020+01:002014-05-09T16:54:00.020+01:00I do like going for a walk to clear my head.

Hehe, just kidding......though that might not be a bad last resort :D<br /><br />I wish I had an easy answer, but we each deal with frustration differently.

I have a BIG to do list for my blog and I am frustrated I can't get it done all at once. <br /><br />I spent about 30 minutes today with paper and pencil. Writing out my to do list. It was overwhelming. <br /><br />But, I will just tackle one thing at a time, and remember that I have all the time in the world to do it.<br /><br />If my logo doesn't get completed tomorrow, no big deal!

Haha. I think at some point you have to realize all you can really control is the writing and submitting. I found it was best to have multiple irons in the fire at all times so that when I was rejected, I still had hope elsewhere. I think it does get a little easier over time, and when you do finally get that book on the shelves, it feels really, really good!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
