I saw this post on Twitter last week and LOVED it because it felt like exactly what I’ve been thinking for the past month while I’ve been working on the Pitch to Publication edits for The Lost Empire.

I think that sometimes the longer I spend looking at anything I’ve written, the more I become convinced that it’s terrible and I have no idea what I’m doing.

Some random thoughts (and links) from my commute today…

Finally watched Hank Green’s vlogbrothers post from last Thursday — turned out to be timed perfectly for where my head’s at right now… sometimes when I’m grumpy, only music can make me feel better… and sometimes what I really need is a little John in the Morning… sometimes I need to be reminded of my own mental toughness moments…  sometimes I just really wish I had a dog…

I found out that The Replacements are going back on tour this summer but the tickets are expensive and will probably sell out in minutes… but at least I can look forward to the fact that I’m getting Laggies from Netflix this week due to perfect video return timing on my part…
