This entry particularly hit home, because I have a death grip on most of my writing. Actually, all of it. And I'm struggling right now with whether to put a particular piece of writing to bed. As a new writer, it's comforting just to see that other writer's are dealing with this as well.Stinkerqueuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033326544562636218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-1155054123128576622006-08-08T09:22:00.000-07:002006-08-08T09:22:00.000-07:00I'm late to help out... but I can say that if you ...I'm late to help out... but I can say that if you perservere it will happen!

I got a request for a partial today, but yesterday was a rejection for the full so that's why I was so bummed.
