Thanks for sharing Michelle - and good luck with the shredding. As always, "a wait" for one of your books is *always" a good wait IMHO.

If your clothes are looser, that's a great sign. When I'm in serious get-fit mode, I don't go near a scales--I judge it all on what I can fit into, and what I can pinch. If the waist is looser, that's an accomplishment, Michelle!ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242190927997728930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-88496227843246315702011-01-22T17:50:54.603+00:002011-01-22T17:50:54.603+00:00Wonderful post, Michelle.

Everything I've read of yours has been fantastic though. Kate is right. It's very helpful for those of us who are unpublished to hear these stories about what published authors go through to keep putting their best work out there. It helps us set realistic goals and it will help us deal with similar situations when we encounter them.<br /><br />That said, I have no doubt you'll pull if off beautifully! And congrats on the shredding accomplishments :).Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-63117277035834231162011-01-22T17:29:31.106+00:002011-01-22T17:29:31.106+00:00Kate --

It isn't. <br />And btw, I still have a four book contract to fulfil. The deadlines are out the window, but the contract remains. My editor expects me to fulfil it with really strong satisfying reads.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-12368261400501829322011-01-22T16:37:47.901+00:002011-01-22T16:37:47.901+00:00Congratulations to you for the 'shredding'...Congratulations to you for the 'shredding' - for the determination and commitment that has kept you going even when times were tough and made you take great steps forward towards results - in both fitness and writing. It isn't an automatic set-up that once we are accepted authors then every book goes through easily - if at all. I lost my second book that way. And the more authors who have the courage to acknowledge this happening, the more not yet published authors will have a realistic idea of the way being a published author actually is.<br /><br />Good luck with both sets of 'shredding' and both your Jillians.Kate Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277223651288830541noreply@blogger.com
