Here's me on ThePublishingSpot.com, jabbering as usual about writey write writer writing, blah blah pontificakes, this time about keeping a journal (I'm taking the very controversial "you might probably want to" position). I'm interviewed on the Publishing Spot every day this week, with a video tour of some of the sites in the new book to be posted on Thursday or Friday. I urge you to watch it, though I probably won't be able to, because -- is that my voice? Is it really that deep? -- I have a funny voice.
In the meantime, I had one final thought about that last post, which was that I could have erased it and replaced it with:
Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing.
Might probably want to? Shocking. I think I may be... offended?
My preferred mantra is 'Done is Better than Good,' but those of y'all who have to count on people actually wanting to read your work may not find it so helpful.

But then the fear would have won, lurking in the subtext unacknowledged and chanted away.

Except my chanting kills fear dead. Which is probably why I find myself doing it so often. Chanting, and counting my breaths, and saying "I'm fine; I'm fine; everything will be all right" out loud to myself as I walk down the street.
Okay, maybe not kills fear dead, but at least makes it run behind the cabinets like a roach.

You will also notice that I am now commenting as "Janice," instead of "girlbomb." PROGRESS!
Okay, sleep now.
