I am hopeful that I can catch some bit of that back. <br /><br />Because, really....there's only so much time and soul-stuff to go around. I'll be honest...marketing makes me miserable. I love the act of writing, being lost in a story, but the business end of things just chews at me and begins to taint the whole process.<br /><br />There has to be a way to, I dunno...purify the process. I will let you know when I figure it out. ;-)Laura Bicklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498043274943334697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-26950497197423981382011-02-07T12:37:04.243-07:002011-02-07T12:37:04.243-07:00Jeffe, since I'm currently going through a mar...Jeffe, since I'm currently going through a marketing scheme and edits and trying to write another novel all at the same time, your post couldn't have come at a better time. I had to scold myself this weekend because I hadn't met my personal deadline for this newest novel. I sacrificed my sacred writing time to do other things and now I'm trying to make up for that.Danica Avethttp://danicaavet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-70169152266992055072011-02-07T11:33:00.115-07:002011-02-07T11:33:00.115-07:00I do what I can, Elizabeth!I do what I can, Elizabeth!Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-70673396541693979932011-02-07T11:21:54.734-07:002011-02-07T11:21:54.734-07:00Love that - "Linda Leftovers."

You are entirely right. I've recently slipped away from giving my fiction writing the Best of Linda, instead tossing it Linda Leftovers. Not good. <br /><br />Thanks for a timely reminder!Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.com
