Play video games. Catch up on a show. Tinker in my nerd cave in the basement. I still need to do something for me, but it can't be writing or editing. After a little while, something inside relaxes, lets go, and I can edit and/or write without wanting to nuke the site from orbit.<br /><br />Good luck!David M.

I think it's even more difficult when you know you're there, you know you have the talent, but the stars just aren't lining up for you yet. It's heart wrenching!!!!! But I also believe that somewhere deep down inside of you you *know* it's going to happen. That's why you have to keep going.

I used to think it meant being Ann Rice or Terry Brooks. Lately, though, I don't think that's it, at least for me. What really makes me happpy is writing and self-publishing.
