It was written by Don Aslett, I think.<br /><br />His base premise was that beginnings and endings are hard...the middle of anything requires the least effort and focus.<br /><br />He suggested having several projects going, at different stages of completion, so that while you're beginning some things and ending others, some will be humming along...<br /><br />I don't know if that will fit with your life or your process, but, if it does....<br /><br />Have a lovely week!Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169405637077740992.post-11254383436829844112015-07-21T08:32:10.653-04:002015-07-21T08:32:10.653-04:00I hear you on wanting to collapse, I do the same t...I hear you on wanting to collapse, I do the same thing!

Way to go on finishing that revision! I can relate on the whole continuing issue. Mentally it feels like "yay, I'm done!" So it's hard to gear up for whatever comes next. Good luck with your goals, especially starting this new project! :)Erin L.

Her characters frquently react the same too: I just stood there, staring. I just sat there. I just stared. I just etc (the frozen, speechless, staring reaction.)Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169405637077740992.post-84940889695462867352015-07-20T11:36:35.973-04:002015-07-20T11:36:35.973-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169405637077740992.post-30533290325781716882015-07-20T11:35:12.810-04:002015-07-20T11:35:12.810-04:00Yay to finishing the revision!!! **party**

I'm loving SAINT ANYTHING too, though, have you noticed that Sarah Dessen has a specific sentence structure she uses a lot? ("I sat down, grabbing my coffee, and took a sip," for example.) Like, it's not even a big deal, but now that I've noticed it I can't UNnotice it. Maybe I'm weird. :-) Anyway, have an awesome week, lady! katyuppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612116485611290505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169405637077740992.post-3581080179825405262015-07-20T08:08:34.236-04:002015-07-20T08:08:34.236-04:00Whoohoo on doing so good last week!
