I suck.

[Writer]

There. I said it. Pile on if you feel up to it. Otherwise, get behind me at my desk, rub my shoulders, stroke my hair... someone, please, give me a little pat of confidence! I'm on my seventh draft!

:spank:

1. You ROCK!

[Writer]

18. Thank you.

:blush:

[Robb]

2. Remember: it's not that you suck...

...it's that about everyone is better at most things than you are! :D

THIS is the kind of soul-stirring advice that makes GIANTS!! :hi:

[matcom]

3. now I want your phone number

:evilgrin:

[cwydro]

6. I was waiting for that.

I can always count on you to come through. Oh shit. I said come.:rofl:

[matcom]

7. "suck it up" is what Mammy used to say

on wait....

:rofl:

[cwydro]

10. Now stop that right now

[matcom]

12. "reprobates"??? "REPROBATES"????

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Ahem

:hi:

You know it's in you. Find it and let it out.

:thumbsup:

[Writer]

21. Thank you, Oeditpus.

Kind as always. :loveya:

[Az]

5. The only reason you are on your 7th draft

is because you know just how good you can be and you won't settle for less. That does not sound like suckage to me.

[cwydro]

11. I agree with this.

Completely. You can do it Writer!

[Hibernias Daughter]

8. Seventh will be your best and last draft!!!

All things will come togethor. Awkward paragraghs will just meld easily and happily into the pages and the words will scream their meaning. I wish you these things and a wonderful publisher!!! You don't need my good luck wish, you'll be fine... but you have it anyway! :hi:

[hfojvt]

9. Give me a W!

Whoops, that's probably not the best cheer.

Keep on keeping on! :hippie:

[martymar64]

13. It must suck to be you

I've always wanted to say that!

[cwydro]

15. Can we ask

what you are writing?

[Writer]

22. You certainly may...

this is the seventh draft of my statement of purpose for my PhD application... the one I mentioned a few days ago re: dear Oeditpus. It truly is coming (cough!) along... I just want to get this done so I can send it to my wise adviser for more of his infinite wisdomly suggestions.

[cwydro]

24. Oh yikes

Yeah, I would be on my umpteenth draft too. You're gonna get it done. Sometimes it helps to go away and come back to it or sleep on it (Watch matcom make something out of that, snicker).

[Writer]

25. matcom seems a bit flushed this evening...

at least, if I observed matcom through his window... :P

16. Robert the Bruce, in prison, watched a spider try and make a web 6 times till

it succeeded. He got out of jail and redoubled his efforts to fight the British. You are on that track too!

[cwydro]

19. I used to love that story

and had forgotten it. Great reference, thanks.

[applegrove]

23. You go get it done now ya hear! Perhaps you need a war cry?

[xchrom]
