Yes, I know the feeling. I read an article in "Writer's Digest" that said, "if you don't write every day, you're not a writer. You have a nice hobby." Kind of harsh, but it helped me want to "get cracking" and get back on track.
Thanks for the fun read, my friend.

I completely understand. I am working through my Pm's as I write. I struggle trying to write, review, work full time, be a mom, and a wife. Oh dear, it's all really hard. Cute poem.

Thanks have not met before. No matter to me but wondering why only the four points? Were there any errors you picked up? It makes no diff and I guess I am pretty generous usually hehe, have you been around FS long? have to look for your stuff later. IF I GET TIME HA!
-
yes, i'm new on fanstory.. just started 2 days ago. and i gave 4 points because i think more words could be used in lines to enhance the poem.
-
OK well let me know why you graded it as you did thanks. Welcome to FS lots of help and great people on here. Normally a grading of 4 would indicate spags or punctuation or spelling errors but other will disagree on that too.
Comment from w.j.debi
It is easy to get caught up in reading and reviewing. Just last night I was going to limit myself to an hour on FS and then get to my own writing. Instead I spent the time on FS and then it was time to retire. You have a good point; I should go write right now.
Good end rhymes and nice readable cadence. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sankey,
You sound like you read my mind. I feel exactly the same. I took a break but each day I kept feeling empty and here I am - full. Your picture says it all. Much to do no time to do it.
'I never set out
just looking for points
And lots of sitting'.
I love that expression
Well done my friend. Keep trying to write. Emeka
Is messing my joints.

Thanks heaps for understanding Have a fabulous time in FS and lots of great friends but you all get me distracted as I said to another reviewer. We have read each other before I think right? Cheers.
Comment from judiverse
I'm seriously behind in reviewing, and it's hard to do your own writing and keep up with reading the work of others. I'm not a fan of fantasy or science fiction, so I've kind of given up reading those. Excellent rhyme in this as you describe how hard it is to keep up. Best of luck with your own writing! It's hard to get ahead, as there are so many writers scrambling to get something posted every day. judi

All true thanks mate. I love this web site it has been such an inspiration amongst all the perspiration hehe. Appreciate you taking the time to drop by. I think we are the same about fantasy and Sci Fi but I am good friends with a couple of the fantasy folks and can't help myself. Thanks again as always.

yeah mate how true. Another good friend in here reminded me I should not end up with 2 unfinihed works. I have only started the new book but still not finished my Autobiography yet...close to but not finished. Thanks for dropping by.
Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is another apt and fitting piece of writing from the author in this post. I find it hard to read. Review and concentrate on my own writing as well. So I know where you are coming from.

Good luck with getting back on track with your book.
It's great to know we have an avid reader and reviewer who doesn't just search for points.
Nnicely written and rhymes.

Well mate even though I don't look for the points they seem to be in abundance in my pocket atm. Thanks for the review. have you met Roy from Adelaide another Aussie fella and a bible basher like me to boot. Can't remember if you was a bible basher?? Sorry.

A great representation of what it's like to be here on FS. I, too, have felt the excitement of posting and then not being able to sleep without checking for comments and critiques!

Thanks Jessica. I still remember my early days when I actually had to physically PAY in real $AU to promote my stuff. Now I can't use it up quick enough from all the reviewing I am doing myself hey that rhymes!
