The next one is about a 40-year friendship, my longest and best woman friend and me. It's especially challenging because we have so much history... But that's only when I try to THINK about it... when I just sew beads with her in the back of my mind, it doesn't seem so daunting.<br /><br />Thanks again for visiting!<br /><br />Robin A.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-4957173081424005432011-12-02T08:23:15.125-08:002011-12-02T08:23:15.125-08:00The book certainly seems to be inside you and from...The book certainly seems to be inside you and from my experience, creating a book is very much like being pregnant and giving birth, with as much effort, anguish and joy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-11324427948895078792011-12-01T18:29:41.832-08:002011-12-01T18:29:41.832-08:00I remember Allie going through a similar progressi...I remember Allie going through a similar progression when she was writing her book. She was in an almost fugue state with great anxiety in the first half of the book....then she too began to settle in to herself...and believe that yes, you ARE that good. And YES, you have something significant to share. And yes, it will still be great even if you only worked 8 hours today and gave yourself a nice walk...and maybe you're starting to sleep now??

I'm also working endlessly on a book, not about beadwork, but about quilting, and it does feel quite HUGE in my mind and life right now. <br /><br />I totally understand what you mean about being a straight, rigid line, but sometimes, you just have to make something that isn't for the book and isn't about the book. You are allowed to bend.
