Thank you so much! :) (I just had to share...Laura,<br /><br />Thank you so much! :) (I just had to share that video--I thought it was super funny when I first saw it on that other blog!) <br /><br />I agree about writers needing to step away from their work and get an outside opinion, and I hope I can really take that to heart when I come back to my writing! I also agree about good writing taking guts--although that's something I'm only just starting to really learn, I think. ;) <br /><br />I really appreciate your encouraging words ever since we first "met" in the blogosphere, Laura. :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791370181970390465.post-44374378578311819542011-06-14T09:08:42.147-05:002011-06-14T09:08:42.147-05:00Wonderful post and hilarious vid:) I so relate! BT...Wonderful post and hilarious vid:) I so relate! BTW, your blog post title is great! I really believe that you must step away from your story to gain perspective. Writers are just too close to their work and often see things that aren't there or should be! Time away restores perspective. I try to put mine in a drawer for a month or so and do something else. Anyway, great post - good writing takes guts! I wish you all the best on your work, Amber. I think I'll be holding your book in hand someday!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791370181970390465.post-65199845545903098412011-06-13T21:25:18.877-05:002011-06-13T21:25:18.877-05:00Sandra,
