Nothing but lava rock, sea turtles and sunsets.<br /><br />And I agree with you Susan. I can't think about publication right now. I have to think--and do the writing. That's my focus.<br /><br />And of all the addictions I could have, this one is truly preferred.Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-78861128427694385692010-06-13T20:11:49.598-05:002010-06-13T20:11:49.598-05:00What a gorgeous Hawaii photo!

But it's just like you say, I don't think I could stop now, even if I wanted to.Susan Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433408456603462774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-79136572166950088302010-06-13T17:29:39.090-05:002010-06-13T17:29:39.090-05:00Thank you again Roland.

I shall add those quotes to my ever growing collection of quotes. ;-D<br /><br />Presently, it is not my fear of not getting published, but finishing one of my longer stories. I know I can do the volume in a decent amount of time. I did so in the Fan Fiction world. It's different when its your own characters and stories. I have every confidence I can get into other writers heads and continue their work, but to lay out your own story... You know the feeling. Like running around town naked during rush hour--exposed. Lets just say I am heavy into self sabatoge. But I shall fight it!!!Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-89893826713097747112010-06-13T13:28:32.852-05:002010-06-13T13:28:32.852-05:00Sometimes my heart gets heavy, wondering if I'...Sometimes my heart gets heavy, wondering if I'll ever get published. But that's what makes the struggle important. The losing battles are the ones we must never shirk. <br /><br />Emily Dickinson, who had fewer that a dozen poems published in her lifetime, who was devastated by the literary critisms of her closest friend, wrote this : <br /><br />Hope is the thing with feathers <br />That perches in the soul, <br />And sings the tune--without the words, <br />And never stops at all.<br /><br />But Tennyson, no stranger to loss and depression, wrote these famous lines :<br /><br />That which we are, we are;<br />One equal temper of heroic hearts,<br />Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will<br />To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.<br /><br />Thank you for your insightful, inspiring post, RolandRoland D.

I have been making a point to ask myself "Would I wear this?" or "Would I buy this as a gift". It has been helping me sort out the designs I wish to spend time on.<br /><br />Again, it is nice to meet another writer/artist! Have a productive week ahead and a great Sunday!Nicole Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605448429334684845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065488144276705475.post-7780840901319444452010-06-13T09:40:04.592-05:002010-06-13T09:40:04.592-05:00I feel like this sometimes.
