Tell her that no one likes a diva :)<br /><br />I think with mine I mainly forgot the #1 rule of getting critiqued - you don't HAVE to listen to every word of advice because it's YOUR novel.<br /><br />I was trying to do everything people suggested and it wasn't my story anymore. It's like I was driving a rental.<br /><br />But I got my car back and I think I'll be able to get back on the road soon :)<br /><br />My VW is ecized.

However, just the other day I had a situation were my head was just so full of ideas that I couldn't write. My cure was to sit down and write something completely different. <br /><br /><a href="http://a-writers-muse.blogspot.com/2011/02/never-mind-writers-block-ive-to-many.html" rel="nofollow">A Writer's Muse - Too Many Ideas to Write</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940470221686681297.post-1387255731756880122011-02-25T00:06:26.649-08:002011-02-25T00:06:26.649-08:00For me, the car often has to wait a while before b...For me, the car often has to wait a while before being serviced.
