Still, I've learned to deal with "bleh" days by telling myself that writing progress is incremental. Even one sentence is one sentence more than one had before. If it's a one-sentence day, you've still made progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538744000429800248.post-30205926730513022712010-03-16T14:16:06.412-07:002010-03-16T14:16:06.412-07:00LOL, I can SO relate to this post.
