Karen, Right about now I look like Rocky. *ggg* I do celebrate too when something breaks.

Charli, I actually think that’s my biggest problem. I’m used to picking things up easily. When I don’t, it frustrates the hell out of me.

Diane, I’ve taken quite a long break…this whole month so far. *ggg* I can’t afford to remain this immobile.

I’m impatient–very. When I don’t learn fast enough then I beat myself up. That said, when the light bulb goes off, I’m beyond thrilled.

It depends. I’m a “learn by doing” kind of person. So if someone is just lecturing me or I’m reading about something, I might learn it a bit slower - or not at all. I need to go through the trial-and-error phase. It helps me keep busy, my mind is more entertained when it’s trying to figure out things. I can’t say that I become impatient. But when I want to learn something I become so focus that I zone out everything else. Like a cat when stacking its prey. *lol* No wonder cats hate me!

Yayyy for your progress! Um, I’m in the hard on self category. Partly that’s because early on so many things came so easily. When I started running up against things that didn’t…very frustrating.

I can usually tell if I’m just not getting something and find a break - either short or long - is the best thing, because even if I’m away from a project, it’s still being mulled over in my subconscious. If I have a deadline, then yes I get impatient with myself, but I still take a short break.

Writing is very hands-on. You can read all the writing books in the world, but you won’t know how to do it without trial and error.

As for structure, so far, I can see when a WIP has it and when it doesn’t. It annoys me sometimes that writing can’t be reduced to a simple equation or a yes/no answer without qualifications. LOL. Which does dump me in the Impatient and Gets Frustrated Easily camp.
