Writer friend sent this. If you pretend it's not two people, but me talking to myself, it's a spot-on illustration of what goes on in my head:

Good writing day so far. It's a relief to feel that plowing blindly onward and not giving up pays off sometimes. But I'm going to try not to reread this latest rewritten chapter for a bit, in case it doesn't hold up. Better to proceed in a state of good cheer, and get as far as I can.
The reasons for this blog: 1. To provide basic author information for students, teachers, librarians, etc. (Please see sidebar) 2. I think out loud a lot as I work through writing projects, and I'm trying to dump most of those thoughts here rather than on my friends.
