You may not be like Bindi(few people are, I'm not) but you will persevere. I love this show and watched this part again-She is a bright spot among the clouds and she is relentless. I am certain she has her down moments but only her brother and mom see it I bet.

We need to challenge ourselves and sometimes the challenge is more inspired by adversity. <br /><br />Keep embracing your passion for the written word.

I do too. Sometimes, we have to stop and collapse, but then we persevere. Because we are relentless.<br /><br />I want to say, too, that I hated, hated, hated editing my work.

I have my computer set up at a desk upstairs, and I go up there and am "in the office." I tried being downstairs at the kitchen table, and it was just too easy to get distracted by other things. The office area is one I usually only go into when I am working.<br /><br />I wonder if, as a writer, you need to do the same thing. Make it your job, and for X hours a day, you will work like you did have a boss (or cameras) watching.<br /><br />I was a fan of Robert B. Parker (Spenser novels), and he practiced something like this-went into his office for five hours a day, every day. In fact, he passed away at his writing desk. <br /><br />Not that I would suggest you follow precisely in those footsteps....but if you treat it like a job, you may even find you get through the minor writer's block because you don't let yourself walk away.<br /><br />My $0.02....<br /><br />LarryDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-39253623847160471432015-11-04T10:58:04.262-05:002015-11-04T10:58:04.262-05:00Hey guys, I deleted the old video and grabbed anot...Hey guys, I deleted the old video and grabbed another one.

I will push myself hard if I'm doing it for someone else like for my job for example, but when it comes to something that benefits me I can easily get discouraged.<br /><br />I wish you well.
