I know I'll get back in the groove. <br /><br />Hart - You don't seem to be anti-social at all! I'm so anti-social that I know it's good for me to force myself into social situations. If I stay in the house too long, I may never come out. You are right, there's nothing like writing to make you want to write.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-74989732728958122942011-12-06T08:40:44.084-05:002011-12-06T08:40:44.084-05:00Oh, yeah...

But FINALLY I finished... took 3 more days of actually writing (10,000 more words). And I am SO GLAD I finished... (hint hint)--though if you have two half done projects, I suppose WHICH you finish doesn't matter as much. I'd finish the one you are closest to finishing so you can cross it off your list.<br /><br />As for writing groups/classes...I hope you find one that is a good fit. I strongly prefer a group ONLINE rather than in person, but that's because I'm anti-social... or something...Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-83003362707272098432011-12-05T20:15:00.579-05:002011-12-05T20:15:00.579-05:00I'm feeling that Nano fatigue too, I'll pi...I'm feeling that Nano fatigue too, I'll pick back up this weekend or so I'm sure.

Great group.<br /><br />Shelly - I think I'm going to cut myself some slack until January unless I have a particularly creative moment.<br /><br />Missed Periods - Never good to abuse the muse.<br /><br />Alex - Classes and groups are fantastic if you find one with good chemistry and postive energy. I've been very lucky.<br /><br />Murees - Thanks! :)<br /><br />Michael - Terrible if they don't recharge fully...<br /><br />LG - December is rough and so worth it to focus on family and on keeping yourself in low-stress mode (I assume that's possible).<br /><br />Lynda - It seems I'm allergic to chocolate. I had 5 days of migraines following Halloween. I bought myself one pack of peanut m&m's and had a debilitating headache for 24 hours. So unfair.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-20821874776344383902011-12-03T22:22:43.434-05:002011-12-03T22:22:43.434-05:00I heard coffee fixes everything... and chocolate. ...I heard coffee fixes everything... and chocolate.

But December is a good month to focus on other things so I never minded much. Would love to have your voice back in Wed night! I noticed the Monday night class is going back to 15 weeks. Maybe that would give you a bit of air space between hello and see ya later?Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229539600930298413noreply@blogger.com
