It's an odd bargain.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-36716107075986350232011-08-18T19:27:59.491+01:002011-08-18T19:27:59.491+01:00A very good article Nuala.

It's so intimate and its a world you have created that no one gets to 'see' until they read it...and then it's gone from you.<br /><br />The new layout is lovely.Órfhlaith Foylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269971031951623625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-83060681164346363332011-08-18T16:49:42.186+01:002011-08-18T16:49:42.186+01:00p.s.

Then I felt a huge loss.<br /><br />I'm grand now - back in story heaven :) and it's going well. I'm on a productive streak, thankfully.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-3400741277745176092011-08-18T12:24:02.444+01:002011-08-18T12:24:02.444+01:00p.s.

Like a restlessness, a wondering, what’ll I do now? a sort of limbo. Even though I know you’ve millions of other writing and all the mothering / house running things you have to do. And although I don't how you're really feeling, I think that this was just something all for you and it was exciting and you know and love the characters and now it’s all over.

Clearly they have never had a baby...<br /><br />I suppose the 'failure' is to do with the grand vision. Hoping that this time we will be properly proud of what we produce and we never are.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-20065154690671373702011-08-18T12:03:40.812+01:002011-08-18T12:03:40.812+01:00So true, Rachel.

You create out of nothing, then go back to it. That's the crux of the matter. Don't agree with John Banville about failure. The achievement is in the doing and finishing.Cláir Ní Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188968112913879814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-2483281164660240192011-08-18T11:36:34.038+01:002011-08-18T11:36:34.038+01:00Great quotes and insight.

I am immersed right now and I am so tetchy about giving up writing time for all the random interruptions I get - mental making - when all I want to do is write - typically (as the world does conspire) my kids have come down with every virus imaginable in the last few weeks!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-16876587075491358972011-08-18T11:26:15.611+01:002011-08-18T11:26:15.611+01:00This rings very true - off to read the rest of you...This rings very true - off to read the rest of your article...Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.com
