A new relationship with my writing ...
... is what I need.
I realised over the weekend, while thinking about other relationships in my life, that the relationship I have with my writing is one of dread fuelled by the certainty that it will be a struggle: that I always expect to discover that what I thought was a story isn't, that the characters I thought realistic aren't and that the situations I thought plausible are as unstable as, well, something very unstable.
My relationship with my writing is fuelled by my dread that it won't be what I thought it was, either in the imagining or in the rereading. I dread that I have, and will end up with ... nothing.

That's inspired!
Angela, I wish you the best of luck - but then, as you are published, maybe you already have it!
Seriously, you have an important insight there, which is relevant to everyone in whatever they have to - or want to - do.
