I've been re-reading Elizabeth Berg's Escaping into the Open, and this piece of advice hit right where I needed it. Anyone with perfectionist tendencies like me runs the risk of taking one's self too seriously and freezing up when the time comes to sit down and write. Better that we try again to PLAY! The ideas definitely start flowing again.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945626570622121439.post-9201486767259171812011-04-19T06:51:11.741-06:002011-04-19T06:51:11.741-06:00So good!
