It's so true. Ha!<br /><br />Gina - you crack me up!!<br /><br />Kristin - totally did process recordings for my master's. Would say that I have no desire to do it again, but...it looks like I may have just done it again. Shoot.<br /><br />Eve - hang in there. Book 2 is currently with my editor, and I'm getting ready to start the whole ride again with Book 3. I would like to say my process has streamlined, but, well...lol. Labor of love, right? <br /><br />Kurt - so right. The things we do for our "loved ones."

We all put a bit of ourselves ...Fun post, Kristen. We all put a bit of ourselves in our charcters, plus the writing is ours, so it's much easer to get on the roller-coaster than it is to get off.<br /><br />You reminded me of one of my artist favorite quotes, which runs to the opposite extreme. This is from Ian Paice, the drummer of Deep Purple. "When I first got slagged I thought Christ it's all over. Now, if I get a good review, great. I don't want to go and kiss the guy, not that I kiss many guys, but if I get a bad review then obviously the guy's an idiot and I'll never speak to him again 'cos I've lost all respect for him."Kurt Hampehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657898257154324404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-20527270425369441832011-07-18T10:56:10.404-04:002011-07-18T10:56:10.404-04:00Kristen, this post is hilarious!

I love Gina's addition of #21 where we become irrationally cruel and intolerant.

Many pots of tea are essential to my writing process too.<br /><br />This reminds me of social work process recordings. Did you ever have to do those for your MSW field placements? I had to record every word, thought, and emotion that occurred during therapy sessions. You basically just did that for the process of writing!Kristin Lenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257484196449105801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-72476087567887186232011-07-18T09:33:18.363-04:002011-07-18T09:33:18.363-04:00Oh, Kristen, you've captured it perfectly!!
