You aren't alone. You don't suck. Even though sometimes your rough draft might. I wrote about the push and pull on my blog today too. If it wasn't easy, this writing thing, I don't think I'd be compelled to do it. <br /><br />I'm hoping that you are in a better place, even as I write this comment!!Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909528955465839978.post-78131948851226016882011-11-22T12:39:53.749-05:002011-11-22T12:39:53.749-05:00Don't worry about it :) All stories really hav...Don't worry about it :) All stories really have been done before, but not by YOU.

I just read the synopsis of the book coming out in the spring that shares my premise, and you know what...it's NOTHING like mine! You're writing is unique because it's yours...ideas people can have in common, but the voice will never be the same. So don't fret! Just keep going and don't let anything derail you!!Vikki https://www.blogger.com/profile/15654315874147137046noreply@blogger.com
