Tokyo, Procrastination
I have no idea where this well-spring of optimism is stemming from, but lately, I just have the greatest snse of well-being. I have lots of things to be thankful for and a great husbanis being prtty supportive. This is not simply a bid to get him to take me to the fireflyviewing dinner at the FourSeasons in Tokyo. It just occurs to me that when I disappear to my room to wirte (mainly procrastinate about it in reality) he has no problem with doing dishes or taking up some of the slack.

I guess the other thing is that I have shared my work with some folks and have gotten pretty good feedback. No one has stared slack-jawed in awe of my command of the written word, but most importantly, no one looked uncomfortable as if trying to mask ""What the the hell is she thinking?" responses.

And my computer, which is making strangely traitorous noises, is acting trustworthy.

I don't know where this feeling of "I can do it" is coming from but I'm greatful for it.

Yay for you!

It's amazing how much more you get done with a little self belief and piece of mind! What are you writing? I find taking that first step to show someone what you've been toiling over is the hardest. I mean, when you write you are only faced with yourself. The feedback of others makes it a lot more real. I'm constantly plagued by the 'this is crap' voice which runs around attempting to sabotage me at every turn.

Keep up the good work. Optimism rules!
