moods

I never seem to know where I am in this writing world. Just when I think I am doing OK, something knocks me down. This week I have had two disappointments (no I'm not going to tell you what they are).
At the same time, I am working on the middle of two stories. This is a part of writing that always unbalances me. But I usually am unbalanced by one story at a time.
If things go as they usually do, something wonderful will happen in the next couple of weeks that will make me feel like I really am a writer.
This uncertainty give me drive. These mood shifts fuel my work. I write when I feel low; I submit when I feel great.
That means that today I will try to work my way out of one of the two stories. Maybe both.
Then maybe in a week or two I can send them off to find new homes.
