But I appreciate the thought anyway :)<br /><br />Emma: What's weird that I seem to forget it between books as well. I finish one ms knowing it completely, but by the time I'm three chapters into the next book I'm freaking out again.

I should probably have gotten over that already...but the urge remains!<br /><br />Rachel: Oh, I do that. I have five or six 'special' notebooks that I've hoarded for years because I don't want to suck in them. And really, the poor blank pages are crying out for words!

THIS ALL THE TIME.<br /><br />I've recently been wanting to write poetry again (mostly because clearing out cupboards produces a surprising amount of hilarious poetry books from our childhood), but I've been afraid of it messing up my notebook with its suckiness.<br /><br />FEAR NOT, PEN! EMBRACE THE SUCKINESS!<br /><br />Thank you for this post. And also, have you ever read A. E. Housman's 'Cruelty to Fabulous Animals'? It is a truly beautiful poem, and there are unicorns.Rachel Balcombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258095982850941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-7862427181382608232012-03-13T06:06:46.285-07:002012-03-13T06:06:46.285-07:00This makes me feel so much better!
