The "tapes" we play in our heads (okay, CD's, now -- or MP3's?) about failure and how we'll never get anywhere - you're right, those voices are echoes of our pasts, the beeyatches in blue. And I love how you deal with your metaphorical self -- because it IS you. You hold it. You hold it with love, but with firmness, until it stops screaming and flailing, aan't hurt itself/you any longer. And then you set it aside, tell it that YOU are always going to win, get up, and go on.

We all have those dark spells, bad patches, whatever you want to call them. I think you got it right: word by word. And not writing for a month and spending all that time with family -- no wonder you came back home and hit a wall! Glad you're over it, through it, and, most importantly, writing again.Andrew Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587923563922700199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812822327612486525.post-20641734565803642772009-08-08T12:33:42.877-07:002009-08-08T12:33:42.877-07:00Ditto Roxane.Ditto Roxane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812822327612486525.post-11315798823544243682009-08-08T12:32:01.997-07:002009-08-08T12:32:01.997-07:00Glad to see you back in the ring.
