Th...It's just good news left and right around here. The Playground is the hot ticket right now.<BR/><BR/>I think creative people just tend to me more neurotic. Its a package deal. When you open the door to the possibilities of art and creation, it leaves that part of you exposed to the criticism and painful barbs of rejection. Unfortunately, there's no real point of writing or painting if you don't share it with the world.<BR/><BR/>I think anything I chose to do would give me the same grief. There's always someone out there to critique your work. I think that as a writer, though, the forum is more exposed. But that also means the good critiques are exposed too. Congrats on the 4.5 stars! I love that book.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-11780368807495022652009-04-02T09:09:00.000-05:002009-04-02T09:09:00.000-05:00housemouse -- Expect Birdzilla to really share tha...housemouse -- Expect Birdzilla to really share that joy with you... :-)Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-27089534382233101102009-04-02T08:57:00.000-05:002009-04-02T08:57:00.000-05:00Forgot to mention how cool it is that housemouse's...Forgot to mention how cool it is that housemouse's chickens are laying.

I think we have to be partly crazy to willingly subject ourselves to rejection and criticism. But I suppose we do it in other ways too.

I read your first book and it was excellent (and I am not just saying it cause I have to)... and I look forward to reading your next book, AFTERBURN. <BR/><BR/>I think writers have to be slightly masochistic.

However, this past week our chickens finally started laying eggs. We got them last year when they were two weeks old. We have probably gathered about 1 dozen eggs so far. Needless to say, we hope they start laying on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day.housemouse88https://www.blogger.com/profile/06638977118552266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-76665813708505762312009-04-02T07:50:00.000-05:002009-04-02T07:50:00.000-05:00No comments from the peanut gallery. *cough, cough...<I>No comments from the peanut gallery. </I><BR/><BR/>*cough, cough* Ahem.Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-51718611804270847402009-04-02T07:07:00.000-05:002009-04-02T07:07:00.000-05:00Um, yeah.

Neurotic is a nice way of putting it. :) I think I was highly emotional and intense before I started writing, and it just gets worse as time goes by. I don't know if it is age, or giving free reign to my creative mind... Actually, it might be the fact that attempting to publish our work puts us in situations that mess with our creative temperaments. :) Yeah, that's it.<BR/><BR/>Congrats, honey!
