My last experience with a professional editor- while very educational and I don't regret it in the least- has left me lacking in confidence over whether my character conflicts come across as flighty and indecisive, rather than split between two options. So now I'm constantly second guessing myself with regards to the heroine of book number two; she's supposed to be torn between seeing more of her potential dom, or getting frightened off, but does it come across that way? 
This is the way writer's block is forged. Just thought I'd have a bitchfest here about it, anyway. 
Sorry to hear that. Do you have beta readers or a writing group that could help point you in the right direction or give you feed back?

Good riddance, asshole.

Relaxing, texting, had a friend stop over, and now reading the forums. No meeting friends for drinks tonight...relaxing is underrated.

Yeah, I do, and they generally steer me right. It's just a more painstaking process, having to write for a general audience, because I need to be much clearer than I'm used to being for myself and people that know me. Gotta spell everything out, apparently.

Watching F1 practice from Sochi, which I didn't realize had a track. Looks quite interesting.

Thanks, though. I might take you up on that one!
I feel your pain.

Excited because I just had my second foster dog adopted. She was older and had a couple of behavioral issues that we worked through, feels like a triumph! A little older couple is the perfect match! I am very happy. I thought I would have this dog forever!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
