Writing is a continual learning process, one I never hope to finish.<br /><br />How about: "Her stomach clenched.

The pay could be a little better, but that's a little like winning (or losing) in the lottery I guess. An ant if you love the process. Thanks for the comments.

That's how I started A Little Bit of Blackmail actually- as a short story to take a break from the novel I was working on. That novel is still unfinished.

It is a time-consuming act of love for most of us.

I remember Nancy Pickard once saying she preferred writing short stories to novels because she had a better shot at getting everything exactly right, and not want to change things when she read it later. She said no matter how many times she reads her novels, she always finds something she needs to tweak.<br /><br />Joan Rhine<br />leftbrainedwritebrained.wordpress.comJoaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873333122123903174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087819597135667611.post-62993924345757561112012-04-23T07:11:57.436-07:002012-04-23T07:11:57.436-07:00I love the "ants" analogy, RC.

Mark Twain once said that "the difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." I love that!
