Please start over again, no matter how frustrating it may seem. In the meantime.... Is there anything we can do to cheer you up?
Ann you are such a sweetheart. What you just said cheered me up quite a bit. Thanks.
And thank you for the encouragement too James.
I did sit down last night, while the story was still fresh in my mind, and jot down about 15 pages of notes on scenes and characters. Then this morning I got up and actually *wrote* 3 pages of story.
We're a long way from 35/40 pages, but at least I've started it. I'm just glad my muse is still speaking to me.
Thanks guys!
