I am currently going through the cruel process of submitting my debut novel, and I find myself bouncing day to day from elation to despair, from confidence that if I just stick at it...to certainty that I am a deluded wombat.One of my CW students caught me on a day of embittered pessimism, and asked whether I thought she should 'have a go' at writing a novel. I managed not to grab her, shake her, and beg her to reconsider, but I'm sure my response wasn't as encouraging as it should have been either. Ah well, if she's going to have what it takes she won't be put off my wet response, I hope. Anyhow, I slunk off home to my Ovaltine and cranked opened that bottom drawer...<BR/>Love this blog guys.
