Self-Defeating Behaviors

Haven't heard from me in a while. I have lots of excuses but not nearly enough to cover the vast gap of time since I've posted or written.

Just what WAS my novel about? I actually remember.

And since I have humiliated myself in public over my novel struggles and little progress, I'm taking an on-line course at WritersU on "Overcoming Self-Defeating Behaviors." First lecture is very good. Just what I need!

To start, we're supposed to look around our desks and get rid of the clutter, something Margie Lawson, the teacher calls "Dung Shui." If you're interested, you can probably still sign up here.
It's WriterU at Yahoo Groups. Looks like a great group of serious writers.

Congratulations on being proactive, Anne! You might be struggling with the creative aspects of your writing but you are still moving forward by acknowledging your blocks and working through them. I think the course sounds like a fantastic opportunity.

I hope you'll share your experiences, insights, and progress with us as you learn to 'overcome self-defeating behaviours'. :-)
