Hah! It looks like you are in a calm and serene place right now and I hope you will be able to send out your puppy soon. And what a pretty and cozy writing space to do this in. All you need is a cat on your lap to help you along with the revisions.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-46358632616769469932015-07-29T13:40:29.884-07:002015-07-29T13:40:29.884-07:00"first draft as a plane soaring to the sky on..."first draft as a plane soaring to the sky only to repeatedly stall in midair.

('Helpful' can sometimes be ... ouchy. It's okay. We'll apply some ointment and keep going.) I'm in a mid-air stall, unfortunately. Or maybe it's a revision. I'm not even sure. It's a draft I've written then abandoned, then turned into a nearly whole new story which I've recently decided to chuck aside again because it's not the genre I want ... so I'm kind of in the middle of nowhere with it right now. Yet I know, I know, I'll definitely sort it out and try again.
