I can edit, but not write the new words. And it is fear stopping me, I know that, and I have to find someway to overcome this fear. I will, hopefully sooner rather than later.Marie Tuharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507785078680105577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743003.post-36577488837780474522007-04-09T08:22:00.000-07:002007-04-09T08:22:00.000-07:00B.E.: Good for you.

I just figure I'll behave my way to success. If I can't write one thing, I'll write something else until I'm ready to go back to the first.Maya Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791278987339976101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743003.post-79450337943940144142007-04-09T07:01:00.000-07:002007-04-09T07:01:00.000-07:00Excellent advice, Maya.

I went through a period of it a couple of years ago, and it nearly did me in, but once I located the source, it went away and I don't expect it will come back.B.E.
