A-Z Good Grief

     Good Grief, I am behind in my A-Z. Let's go with that theme for today. Excuses for not getting to writing.


     Germination has not arrived.

     I Gambled on having time later...and lost.


     Everything I wrote was Garbage.


     I need to Gain in confidence.

     My house looks Ghastly and the Garden hose has a Geyser in it.

     The cat peed in my Galoshes.

     My Goal Gradually Gets farther and farther away.


     My dialogue is not Genuine. My characters are Giddy. It's Grim.


     
     I Growl, "Girl, Get thyself to the critique Group. Grow as a writer. I did.





     I've Got it!

    You had me giggling, and only the Lord knows how much I needed to do that! I'll be following you.
    Oh, I am in the wrinkles, waistlines, and wet pants group. I will look for your books. Just think--we used to be the 'hot pants' group.

    Great catch up post. I'm struggling to keep up too. So many spring chores are calling for my attention.

    Thanks to all of you for coming my post. Talei, I already have a wonderful critique group that I have been with for years. I am very lucky about that. They are all extraordinary writers.
    Luana, we have similar names. I have been running into a lot of Kraus(e) people lately.
    And Susan, my book will be coming out in ebook soon. It is in the last stages. If you have an e-reader...great way to download my book for very little cost.

    I'd like to use all your excuses not to write a thing today!

    I know that feeling. Actually my biggest excuse is blogging! Or do I consider that writing if it is not actively leading toward a book? Hmm! Good question.
