œThere was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don’t want to, don’t much like what you’re writing, and aren’t writing particularly well.
• Agatha Christie

Interestingly enough, the NaNo’s going great…it’s the darn edits for Rumple…the book is fine…it’s just not great. There’s no snap, crackle, and the only pop is from my synapses exploding as I try to figure out what’s gone wrong…

These are times I’m glad Agatha is my friend & is there will advice…she’s right, y’know (of course she is. She’s Agatha Christie). One can only keep writing because writing is an active verb, and to be a writer is to do the work, even when I don’t like it, don’t enjoy it, and am not doing it very well…
