Dorothy, whaddya think?

/ Tracy Abell

While waiting for mentor feedback,
I have gone back to another project.

Not having much fun.
It’s hard getting back in this story’s flow.

I feel exceedingly rusty
and wonder if I need a jolt from the oil can,
 

a bit of courage,

or maybe just a little faith in the journey.

    • Thanks for your vote of confidence, Melodye. I’m feeling at a loss right now. The oil-courage-faith combo is faltering, I’m afraid. Hope your writing day is going better. 🙂

        Remember what Scarecrow said to Lion when they approached the Wizard?

        “Stop pulling your own tail!”

        Don’t be frightened, Tracy. You may be rusty, and the situation might be unfamiliar. But you have heart, brain and courage — all of that in spades.

        Dig deep, my friend…you’ll discover the many reasons my vote of confidence isn’t misplaced. xo

        • Could you please come move in with me? I’ll give you your own space heater so you’re never cold. Promise. 🙂

          Seriously, though, your words of encouragement mean so much to me. Thank you.

    • Are you creaking, too? Or have you pushed on through to a better/easier/more nimble place in your story?

      I guess writing this project is like doing yoga; if I keep at it, I’ll get more flexible.

      Thank you, Lorraine.

    • HA!!! I hadn’t even thought about that Dorothy issue. Hee.

      This is the second draft (with many revisions at the front end) but I’m trying to push through and get a revision of the entire ms. It’s always been a booger of a project but then I hit my stride and it feels so good. Problem is, I’d just hit my stride with it right about the time I needed to set it aside to focus on my mentor program project three weeks ago. Sigh.

      I believe it’ll be fun again if I give it the chance.
