It is worth mentioning…that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time…Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned.Determination not to give in…keep one at it more than anything.
— Virginia Woolf

Isn't that the truth?!
Food for thought. Thanks for sharing!
I struggled with this for SOOO long. I've finally broken out of this though and am biting at the bit for November when I can pound out the last 50,000 words of my novel in thirty days!
That's one determined puppy!
Truest words of the week!

Great quote! Good reminder. Determination is what I need for sure.
Good to know the greats have the same human doubts as the rest of us. Thanks Michelle!
This quote counldn't have come at a more perfect time! Thanks!!!!
Thanks for this.
Another great "P" word for writers. I was thinking patience is the other one.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with these feelings!
Yeah, how come it quiets down? Perhaps writing is really just a career for the stubborn, then, and not necessarily the inspired. :)
Great picture! I haven't seen that one before. Puppies are so inspiring!
Excellent picture! Couldn't have said it better myself!
Yay for the OA contest! I'm nervous, there were so many awesome entries!
So true! It's hard to keep going once the "new idea" high wears off, but it's essential if you're going to actually finish anything.
I need to write that on a note and put it on my computer!
So true. I'm going to remember that one. :)
