So, I'm attending Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers this week. It's been fun, but as everyone who has ever attended a conference before knows, it can be rather draining. And sometimes, just sometimes, your self esteem takes a dive. Especially after you've been critiqued.
I've decided that, in cases like this, every writer needs their very own Fortress of Suckitude. My personal Fortress would require the following things:
1. Lots of chocolate.
2. Comfortable couch with lots of pillows and blankets.
3. Facial tissues, for all the weeping and wailing.
4. Chocolate.
5. Lots of sappy, old movies.
6. Ice cream.
7. Deep jetted tubs with bath salts, bubbles, and other assorted things.
8. Dozens of roses.
9. Chocolate.
10. Did I mention the chocolate?
So, what would you have in your Fortress of Suckitude.
1. Other peoples books that I could get lost in.
ReplyDelete2. Chocolate.
3. Swedish Berries.
4. My very comfy bed with my duvet and snuggly pillows.
5. My iPod or Blackberry to play music.
Melanie--I love duvets! I forgot to put that on my list. I'm glad you got the most important thing, though: chocolate. :)
ReplyDeleteModern Family and chocolate. Except I made a new year's resolution not to eat any candy or dessert. #%@!!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there. You're an amazing writer Jeni, don't let them suck the life out of you!
I missed today because my mother-in-law was sick! But see you tomorrow.
