And glad you made it out the other side of school holidays relatively unscathed.<br />My mum's a quilter, she made me a quilt of heart patches for my 18th - all the material either came from a previous project that had gone to someone we loved, or was a piece of material donated by friends or family. I thought it was a great idea - I'm sure you'll treasure that quilt for years to come once it's done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069475842309960724.post-62812723595406033542011-07-12T11:32:38.278+10:002011-07-12T11:32:38.278+10:00Glad you survived too Gabrielle.

"Hold On" (P17) came from pressure, but its revisions and eventual submission to P17 came from no-pressure. <br />And you're such a busy woman besides - I'm sure even the no-pressure approach keeps you busy as usual :)<br /><br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069475842309960724.post-19896197101186527132011-03-30T14:30:31.973+11:002011-03-30T14:30:31.973+11:00D: !

I do, however, think you can get too caught up in deadlines. Writing off deadline allows crazier ideas to germinate, and crazy ideas often turn into the best stories, like Laura van den Berg's excellent Where we must be, as reviewed: http://lauriesteed.blogspot.com/2011/03/35-where-we-must-be-by-laura-van-den.html .<br /><br />I double dare both you and Phill to submit to non-deadline journals! If we keep this up, we might just about reach a physical challenge (obligatory old kid's game show reference). <br /><br />Write on, you crazy Johnson : )Laurie Steedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776275214125975722noreply@blogger.com
