What if my writing's sh*t and I'm deluding myself?

It could be though couldn't it. I know I've only been waiting a few days for a response from an agent but what if it's dire. Where do I go from here?

I'm not bad atm, thank you. Coming out of a short cycle of weakness and knackeredness. It's definitely caused by stress and I've got a lot of that atm!

So glad you're out of that woman's radar. Two years with someone telling you that sort of crap!! Unbelievable. Hope you're feeling the effects of removing that huge negative influence; has it made a difference to your condition? (I always think it's quite funny when I'm asked about my condition; I feel like a horse! I quite like it for that ridiculous connotation, though.)

Is your wonderful boy OK? DD is settling down, though I had a call from the school counsellor last week which has had me contemplating really huge changes in our lives, but that's a separate thread which I may start at some point.

Do you like his school, now he's been there a while? Have you had a parents' evening or anything, yet? (We had a y7 'entertainment' and open evening last week. It was fun.)

I had accupuncture in August after the second relapse and it's made such a difference. I woke with a squint which was horrible. It's very difficult to see with one eye pointing in the wrong direction. I left it for a couple of weeks to see if it would rectify itself, the day after the first accupuncture I woke up and they were both straight. It was very bizzare. I do feel so much happier now I'm not on the course, I still feel as if I'm crap at everything though which is why I started this thread. It'll take a long time to make my self esteem better I think. I'm hoping that I won't have a relapse any time soon as I've removed 75% of the stress in my life.

Ds is well, he has 2 weeks off for half term now. He's a little happier at school. I had parents evening on Wednesday and they are really pleased at how he's settling in. We had a report through the post yesterday and he's scoring top marks for effort and attainment in most subjects which is really good.

I hope your DD is OK, it's a huge adjustment when they move to secondary school.

Some GP's do accupuncture if you want to try it. It can work out quite expensive as they often want you to have a certain number of sessions.

Ok. So the chicken is now nasty, the sentences have been broken up and some of the longer words have been made smaller and easier to read. Anything else?
