Evangeline- Love your name.

So we both suffer from the procrastination gene. Sisters in Procrastination would make a great group if anyone could ever get around to making it. LOL

I can’t imagine being an artist. I can’t draw a stick figure. Let alone something that someone would actually want to look at.

Thanks for coming by!

I’ve met great people to critique my work, but the hindrance to forming a solid relationship is my own fault (shame on my acute form of procrastination). I’m actually rather unaffected by critiques. Sure, I cover my eyes when opening one, but when I gather enough courage to read it, I’m not really upset over what has been said about my work. I’m guessing it’s because of my background as an artist (there’s nothing like painting or sculpting a work of art and squirming silently in one’s seat as an art teacher and the rest of class critique it as bluntly as they can).

DJS- I’m one of those people who write something and it takes me forever to finish. Mostly because I’m never happy with anything I’ve written and always want to change it. But if they are your true friends, they’ll want to read it. They won’t be able to stop themselves once you allow them to get their hands on it.

All these comments are making me think. There are not many people I would want to see my writing. My sisters, Who shall be referred to as the Redheads, like different books than I do. One likes the paranormal romances that I do, but is more into Fantasy. The other likes mysteries. And some Sci-Fi. No Romance at all.

Would I want them to read my stuff? Good question. First I have to finish something. I get going on one, Life happens, I stop. But this one is really talking to me. Or should I say the Dragon is?

I feel like walking the plank every time I put my writing out there. Arrrr! Why is the rum always gone…

Terrio-Would like to say yes about being successful in contests but can’t. I’ve been pretty successful in my new parenting role and working for FanLib role though. I’m writing again, that’s about all I can say so far.

Sin-You know me, I love pirates and pirate ships. I had to stow away once I found this place. I may know what I want in a crit group, but I’m afraid I may drive them crazy to the point that they make me walk the plank!!

Of course he did. *LOL* And I’m sure he’d have gotten dirtier (I don’t mean that the way that sounds), but between you scolding him and me laughing like a loon, he ended up (in 8 year old fashion) defending himself, “We were a LOT worse in Jack’s office! This is nothing! Frannie’s not offended, are you Frannie?”

And speaking of mentioning the “box” tag, I told him last night that I was “finally” writing about him with the title of Writing Outside the “Box”. He looked pretty darn proud of himself.

I have no doubt in her ability to put Matty in his place, but sometimes.. he just is so.. so.. *hm* aggravating?

And the arched eyebrow is from our conversation about the supplements and got quite a bit dirtier than your conversation. LOL
