I sometimes lost whole chapters. Devastating! <br /><br />And thank you for the compliment on my blog background. I love to update it, especially around the different seasons. :-)Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-36939905698344851452012-08-22T19:25:10.122-06:002012-08-22T19:25:10.122-06:00Oh, and I meant to say, I love the background to y...Oh, and I meant to say, I love the background to your blog and how it keeps changing - so pretty!J.T.

Must go and google her and find out what books of hers I have heard of! <br />Her quotes are spot on aren't they? Writing can be so hard, but when we persevere inspiration follows.<br />I'm glad your rewritten scene turned out better. There's nothing worse than accidentally deleting our work. I think we've all done it!<br />J.T.

I deleted a whole swath of words and that helped, but it really was like I was battling between destruction and creativity."<br /><br />You said it so perfectly. How many times I have experienced this! It actually makes me physically tired!<br /><br />I'm glad to have writing friends like you-I would hate to go it alone:)Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.com
