Giving up on a project that you've put so much sweat and tears into is definitely tough, but if it isn't working, there's no sense in letting everything else fall to the wayside. Congrats on letting it go. Maybe in a few months or a year you can pick it up again with fresh eyes and new ideas :) Good luck with the new children's book. It sounds great and you sound passionate about writing it!Ravynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842889270339265787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-79945801312316604652016-02-05T09:33:38.520-08:002016-02-05T09:33:38.520-08:00@Marcy, I'm glad too now.

It can be so hard to let a project go sometimes--this is something I've struggled with many times in the past--so I'm glad this one isn't dragging you down anymore. And how exciting about that children's book! It sounds like it'll be such a cute read. (I already feel like me and that anxiety-plagued dog will be kindred spirits, LOL.)
