I really do miss posting stories. I miss reading comments and I miss seeing my kudo count rise as I click my story page 10 times an hours to see how things are progressing. I live for that sort of validation and I'm getting absolutely none. (Okay, maybe a little as one of my beta readers builds me up).
I'm sure I know what everyone is thinking; I should stop being lazy and get to writing. The fact is that I've been writing like a madwoman. My current novel is over 135k words long and I've really kept to my schedule of 2000k words a day. I am losing steam though, luckily the story is winding down and I hit the second (and last) climax. My plan is to start a Christmas story on the 10th. I have two in mind but I think only one will get produced, depending on length. I don't plan on it being long, but we all know better. My drabbles alone are 10k (I keep thinking of the Dress Punishment as a drabble and when I look at the word count I am amazed).
Hopefully things will work out fine. I will finish the novel and then have the task of editing it and see if my previous editor is willing to tackle another long project. The story probably sucks, but it's almost done and I might as well finish it.

Perhaps a little positive thinking
in your life, with a smile, and a goal of not letting people or things getting you down could help you view life differently. Instead of thinking how something might fail, think of - what more could I add and do?
How you appear to people in attitude and personality affects them as well. When you are cheerful and happy, others like to talk and be around you.
A positive personality also attributes to a better health. You will think more of yourself, exercise more and eat more healthily.
The power of positivity should never be underestimated!
Don't let a frown pull you down! Stand upright and smile bright!

I know how you feel,
right now, my muse has fled.

This sounds like a good thing from here (the writing that is). Keep on going girl.
I do understand....
...since I'm trying to keep to a schedule of 1000 words per day on my story, and after I'm through, I read it over and cringe. People, I'm quite sure, don't talk and act in real life the way they do in my story, and I can't seem to make my characters as real as I'd like. There's just this ongoing feeling that I'll expose my ignorance by posting a story here.
You, however, are different. Your characters come alive, your stories are gripping, your use of prose masterful. If I can make something of this mess of a story that's even half as good as God Bless The Child, I'll consider myself lucky.
