Anyway, I deeply appreciate your support and enthusiasm. One of the beauties of blogging is being my own editor. But I also see blogging as sort of a cousin to journalism, a training that runs deep. In a similar fashion, IMO, we as fiction writers are also trained, like to write in Scene&Sequel and avoiding passive voice. My bossy "internal editors" (ghosts of newsrooms past?) work pretty much along the same lines, IMO. Of course, I could be taking this blogging stuff entirely too seriously. ;) Lyndi -- I agree that a daily blog is too much for me right now. I'm doing it for the class but then, that's it for a while. Besides, I'm still in first draft of my first novel, which I haven't touched for at least a week. Thanks again, Beth and Lyndi. Maybe I need to take a break in Florida. :) :) Beth — I’m just glad it’s my old editors and j-school teachers barking orders in my head — but not my mother!

Maybe a daily blog is too much right now. You don’t want to get all stressed out or you’ll be tempted to drop it completely. Take a deep breath and let it out, relax and chill. It’ll seem better tomorrow.
