Um, that's a No..."I feel your rain." Um, that's a Northwest joke. Humor is how I deal with stress.<br /><br />On the issue of head butting, at which I am an expert (but not licensed) head butting can be a good thing if you don't always insist on winning. Hmmm, but that wouldn't be head butting. Oh never mind.<br /><br />It is an interesting phenomenon for writers that, I still can't get over, that close loved ones don't like to read our books. <br /><br />Does anyone else have that problem? People at work, media, internet strangers, all readily read my work, but family members are squeamish about doing so, and still have not. <br /><br />My publisher says that is normal, and to not worry about it. It happens all the time. Loved ones do not want to be embarassed if they do not like what they read. I have found including family in the editing process is a source of tension that is best avoided.<br /><br />Just me?Walter Knighthttp://www.waltknight.yolasite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-30384506230098087082010-05-05T13:50:16.393-07:002010-05-05T13:50:16.393-07:00wow, you've had some big ups and downs lately,...wow, you've had some big ups and downs lately, megan. it sounds almost like a time of wrapping some things up before moving on to new ones and stages. but it's hard when the letting go involves a friend.jenny milchmanhttp://jennymilchman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-76510079478687852822010-05-05T13:41:20.391-07:002010-05-05T13:41:20.391-07:00I feel your pain, Megan. I've been down this r...I feel your pain, Megan. I've been down this road before myself. And if you're inherently a loving person, it can be that much more difficult. But a wise woman once said to me when I was pondering a split with a long time friend/associate that if someone brings a lot of negativity into your life -- even if you sometimes revel in it, that negativity filters over EVERYTHING else slowly but surely. Does this make sense?<br /><br />I think after the initial pain, you will find yourself feeling lighter.<br /><br />(and I liked your "boring blogs"!<br /><br />xo BarbaraDeb and Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444390852070865517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-64830076431717027492010-05-05T13:14:51.583-07:002010-05-05T13:14:51.583-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.J.
