First I have to let myself feel bad and pout for a day, then I kick myself into gear and revise or work on something else, and when I feel ready and strong enough for more, I send it out again.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210398194494998143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-3547114234616868002011-09-19T18:08:56.788-07:002011-09-19T18:08:56.788-07:00Great thoughts!
