Yeah! I've tried this group before, maybe more than once, and life got too busy for me and I couldn't physically get the time to write, so I would up timing out too. I was disappointed, and I DID actually let it stop me from doing any of the prep because I felt like a failure for missing out on the prep month here - but I was wrong. I should have done what I could do, and get on with it. Even if it was only a partially completed story - it's better than not getting it out of my head. I truly lost because I gave up. So learn from my loser-ness and don't get discouraged if you time out here - don't stop yourself - be stronger, crash through those walls that pop up and write - even if its 2 sentences a day - it's better than nothing. Maybe you'll wind up with a one page short story - that's better than nothing. I kick myself every time I think about how I gave up - I should have just did what I could do. Don't let anything stop you - especially yourself slap yourself if you have to! Snap yourself out of the funk and get your writing groove on baby! Grab that chocolate and get those keys sticky!
