But I cook it for him every once in awhile with a nice bernaise sauce even though the smell makes me sick. *shudder*<BR/><BR/>My least favorite part of writing is the editing, but it's a must so what can I say? <BR/><BR/>I'll try to remember Angel's thought--I like it.

I'm always out of my comfort zone :-) I'm the one sitting in my chair, or awake in the middle of the night, thinking of ways I can push the envelope. Whether the idea comes off as well in reality as it does in my head is an entirely different matter...<BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1167843911769077042007-01-03T11:05:00.000-06:002007-01-03T11:05:00.000-06:00Aww, shucks.

But, like PM, there are things I'll cook just because those I love love them. Deviled eggs. Anything with celery in it. Curry. Brussel Sprouts. Cooked broccoli. <BR/><BR/>I will make them, but I will not eat them. And you can't make me.Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1167841419593966112007-01-03T10:23:00.000-06:002007-01-03T10:23:00.000-06:00I was always told that black-eyed peas were for go...I was always told that black-eyed peas were for good luck. My husband's family eats Hog Jowls for prosperity. So every New Year's Day, we have to eat ham, black-eyed peas, corn bread, and hog howls. Eckk! But... I do it for love and I do it to ward off the bad karma. LOL.<BR/><BR/>The kids want me to make sweet rolls, their favorite and I've been too lazy to get started. So... today I'll have to do that for love. Oh, but I LOVE the results. Yum! But the tedious production process is a chore.<BR/><BR/>Keeping to a writing schedule is hard. Sometimes getting out of bed when your back aches is hard. I know for some... writing when your hands hurt is extremely hard. But... we set our minds to do the task because we know we have to, because we take joy in the results. Black-eyed peas, hog jowl, and greens, totally worth it if it helps us begin the New Year feeling like we have the luck of the Irish leading the way.<BR/><BR/>KathyKatherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1167835474932836712007-01-03T08:44:00.000-06:002007-01-03T08:44:00.000-06:00For the longest time I thought I wasn't a real sto...For the longest time I thought I wasn't a real storyteller, a born storyteller, because sometimes I don't like writing. Writing is hard. <BR/>Yes, sometimes it flows, the characters come alive, and the plot spontaneously twists and turns in wondrous ways. But this is RARE.<BR/>At least for me it is.<BR/>Most of the time I do enjoy it, but sometimes it is hard to get started. And there are parts about it that suck, like the fortieth set of revisions, writing the very first page, or letting that envelope go at the post office. I've discovered that all writers have things about the process they don't like, just as they have different parts they love. You just have to work through them all to reach the goal.<BR/>Remember, "there are no shortcuts to any place worth going."<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.com
