I appreciate that -- I just try to give more than a "loved it!" or "hated it!" and say things that I'd want to hear as a writer. It's not easy when I'm giving feedback that's not positive because I know how much a piece of writing can mean to a writer, but I hope I'm always at least constructive, and that in some small way, it helps the writer. but hey -- I'm no expert and it's really just one guy's opinion... And I hope you had a good weekend, also!<br /><br />@Milo: Hi Milo! thanks! And yes -- you are absolutely right!<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-4200240604408231462013-10-05T21:10:29.948-04:002013-10-05T21:10:29.948-04:00Welcome back, Chris!

I hope you can balance music, writing, and whatever else makes you happy. I'm always so impressed by your crits on DL's Write Stuff bouts. They're very insightful, and as far as I'm concerned, right on the money. Have a good weekend! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-58101751274675410242013-10-04T07:40:37.697-04:002013-10-04T07:40:37.697-04:00@Georgina: Thank you very much, Gina!

I think it is fantastic that you have so many artistic tendencies. It gets really hard to make time for everything we enjoy but as long as you are happy, things will work out. Time will come, eventually. Just enjoy the ride and smile! =)Georgina Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164961271767174713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-26979435501034729992013-10-03T13:21:45.454-04:002013-10-03T13:21:45.454-04:00@ R.T: Oh yeah -- the writing bug still has me in ...@ R.T: Oh yeah -- the writing bug still has me in its steel jaws. It's just that the output will probably be measured in words-per-week rather than words-per-hour... ;)<br /><br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-31066068762033418212013-10-03T01:23:47.846-04:002013-10-03T01:23:47.846-04:00Don't stumble ...trudge!

And as far as WIP to WOOP is concerned, I think a lot of us have had that transition happen multiple times, especially with the first draft of a first novel. I'm working on my first, and a year ago, I had the entire thing in TATTERS because I hated it so much (oh, and loved it so much, too!)<br /><br />I think what's going to happen is you will focus on music for a while and then, sooner or later, you'll have to write again. Just my opinion. So glad you're bloggin, cuz bloggin' keeps the noggin' from foggin' and cloggin.'R. T.

I also have a way for us to jam together if you're into it. Read my post later this week...<br /><br />@Faith: Thanks, and I will! I appreciate the support. And congratulations again!!!<br /><br />@Suze: Aw, thanks, Suze. That's very kind. I try to cultivate my self-awareness, but the problem is that my awareness usually comes well AFTER the fact ("Oh dang!!! I shouldn't have done that! What was I thinking?!?!") :)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-22602659819542975702013-10-01T23:36:15.794-04:002013-10-01T23:36:15.794-04:00Oh, my gosh, Chris, I really loved this post.

I'm sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea as I read it and feel as though I was having a wonderful conversation with you. Well done on having the courage to know when to stop. Well done on recognizing that nothing is ever lost; that the strides you made while the WOOP was 'in process' were worthy accomplishments in and of themselves. This post, and this new blog, is so very sagely self-aware.

Writin...I don't think I ever had a muse either.<br />Writing has taken a back seat to my guitar playing now. I still have an outline for another book, but don't know if I'll attempt it. Even with three books, I still never want to be a full time writer.<br />You're actually in a good place. Enjoy it and see what happens.Alex J.

One of the wonderful things about life is we aren't limited to following a single passion. There's a virtual smorgasbord of things to do, and however you choose to express yourself, whatever creativity flows from you... it's all good.<br /><br />As for not having a muse dedicated to your genre. Pbbbt. I say write what you want to read. If you love it, others will, too.<br /><br />Hey! I can honestly say I'm your number one follower... cool! Good luck with your new blog.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.com
