Doesn't it seem like we get there at different times, but ALL end up at the checkout at THE same time? Same thing with books and writers, I think. Clear ... as mud, right?Melissa Crytzer Fryhttp://melissacrytzerfry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-16926747053996926612014-05-21T12:27:11.578-05:002014-05-21T12:27:11.578-05:00Yes, Joan, you have to keep forging ahead.

It just means the universe is ready for this kind of story." I mean, it happens all the time. I liken it to the grocery check-out line. We all start our stories at different times but somehow they all hit the market at once, or at least come into the light at once (thinking of all the Zelda books, a lot of books about the Shirtwaist fire, etc.)<br /><br />But you're right. Only we can tell our own stories. And they will be different every time. And if we're committed to the story, it will shine.Melissa Crytzer Fryhttp://melissacrytzerfry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-3997273112867057172014-05-17T10:15:43.670-05:002014-05-17T10:15:43.670-05:00That happened to me just last week.
