Great characters, and great writing. I hope you enjoy it at least as much, Sarah. :) With revisions, might it help if you at least do some--a page, a paragraph even, every day? It may seem like so little, but when you're having a hard time motivating yourself, those small chunks add up. And who knows--you may get carried away with yourself and end up doing more! :)<br /><br />Have a great week. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-74648661690848252592013-10-16T22:08:37.842-05:002013-10-16T22:08:37.842-05:00Ooh, The Near Witch - that's what I'm read...Ooh, The Near Witch - that's what I'm reading this month, too. I'm a couple of chapters in and so far am loving the writing style and setting. <br /><br />I haven't figured out what to let go of for my dare. I'd like to let go of my job, but that doesn't appear to be a financially responsible option at this time. So, something else has to go. Laundry? Dishes? :) Enjoy the rest of your week!Sara Birenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232407986912820233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-11065970560873656362013-10-16T19:47:38.203-05:002013-10-16T19:47:38.203-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609570337164385118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-40987033510643440442013-10-16T17:16:31.645-05:002013-10-16T17:16:31.645-05:00Excellent!

I think so many women feel like they're failing if they're not pursuing a career actively, or that they're not living up to their potential. I'll argue that they're making the future a better place, one where I want to live, and I often wish I had that much courage. <br />=) Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937331476416670636.post-66631330818861987802013-10-16T12:19:48.579-05:002013-10-16T12:19:48.579-05:00As someone who loves crafty projects too, I totall...As someone who loves crafty projects too, I totally get what you mean about how much time it sucks up. Have you considered crocheting something like little hats or booties? That would whip up faster and would be totally sweet and meaningful. I know when I've knit baby sweaters (as opposed to adult sweaters), they've whipped up so much faster which was fun and less stressful. Good for you for spotting something in your life that is sucking up time. I should probably sit down and weed out some of that stuff too. (*cough* TV *cough*) If I want to find more time to write, then something has to go. Thanks for the reminder, Sarah! :-)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
