I also like your half-metaphor, half-pun at the end there ("Don't let this dreadful winter and your manuscript cast a shadow over your ambitions.") <br /><br />I'm trying to write an 800 (!) word thing at the moment and it's kicking my butt. So I know what you mean.

But I am over halfway through (on this pass anyway) so I am eating that elephant. =) (ew) And I loved Edge of Tomorrow! It was a really great movie. I didn't know they changed the name for the DVD. I had no idea that was 'allowed'. And Emily Blunt is fantastic in that movie!Leandra Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381034024025750992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-31340926371582186052015-02-02T17:02:19.531-05:002015-02-02T17:02:19.531-05:00I saw previews for this movie.I saw previews for this movie.Kimberly G.

You go on and on until you hit that perfect day when the first draft is complete, then you get to go to the next day (revisions!). Then it starts all over again. Hope you make it to the next day sometime soon (shippin' it out!).<br /><br />On a side note, for any Sci-Fi fans out there, the movie "Edge of Tomorrow" (repackaged as Live, Die, Repeat on DVD) is a souped up version of Groundhog Day where instead of waking up every morning, Tom Cruise actually dies... For that reason, it's great for both Tom Cruise and non-Tom Cruise fans alike!

This weather does make it difficult to feel like progress is being made. I've taken Vitamin D supplements for a long time and I think that helps ward off the winter blues. Can't wait to hear about your novella when it's finished - I know you will get there!Carrie Beckorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324065022504846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-5745891803477735222015-02-02T10:35:10.962-05:002015-02-02T10:35:10.962-05:00I'm sitting here and there is more than a foot...I'm sitting here and there is more than a foot of snow on my back deck.
