\"craft\"<\/p>\n

I love this quote by Kay Gardiner<\/a> of Mason-Dixon Knitting<\/a>:*<\/p>\n

“I do not contemplate clever ways to overcome an obstacle if I have the option of groaning softly, putting my head down, and waiting for the discomfort to pass.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The post<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0about sweater construction, but\u00a0the quote really resonated with me. \u00a0I tend to procrastinate when I’m anxious about writing (currently, tricky edits), even on my seventeenth (!!) novel.<\/p>\n

The novel will get turned in, and it will get turned in on time. The rest, really, is just waiting for the discomfort to pass.<\/p>\n

xoxo, Chloe<\/p>\n
