I know, I know...worst author EVER!!!! I could give you the excuses that I've been sick with sinus colds and migraines for over a month, or the fact that I just got a new puppy and she's taking up every spare second I have, but I won't. I'll just say it plain and simple: I suck! This chapter, for whatever reason, has been so difficult for me to write. And even after working on it for this long, I'm still not happy with it. But, here's a teaser anyway. It might change as I'm still trying to get the chapter to a point where I actually feel it's acceptable.
Thanks for sticking with me.

It had taken me three hours to talk myself into getting into my truck and coming to the clinic this morning to get some help. Every time I would approach the front door ready to leave, I chickened out and went back to the living room to do some more research on things I could do myself to help, so that I wouldn’t have to admit how broken I was to anyone else.
But no matter how much research I did or now many ‘self-help’ pages I found, my symptoms checklist didn’t lie. I needed help. Professional help.
It was ultimately the re-reading of Edward’s email four times that got my ass in the truck and my truck to the clinic.
we will not allow you to beat yourself up, seriously woman, stop being so hard on yourself.
ReplyDeletejust write from the heart and stop second guessing yourself, i just had a thought, since you are spending so much time with a new puppy, how about adding her to the story line?nothing is better than the unconditional love of a puppy to get you back on track. this could be a good tie in with helping her depression- just a thought
you know that we love you and are here for you!!!
Love the teaser. I read it a few days ago but was in a hurry and didn't have time to comment. Don't beat yourself up too badly over a delayed posting. I liked Karen's idea about the puppy. Maybe Edward could get one for her, to keep her company and remind her of him when he's not around? Just a thought. Then you could really use RL as an inspiration to write. I suggested this song to you once before for inspiration, but I'll recommend it again, just in case. When I have writer's block for my fic, or need to write in a hurry, I use music as an inspiration and it almost always gets the words pouring out of me in a hurry.
