Well said, Sue!

That sounds like the best of both worlds, Terri. I think sometimes we all need a little dedicated *percolating* time to mull over ideas.

Reading good books on the craft can be very motivating. Once I get engrossed in a book, however, I forget about returning to my writing, so it can be self-defeating for me.

I hope JJ finds what she’s looking for soon, and not too far away!

I haven’t seen any more of those magnets in recent years, but the saying still pops up as a poster occasionally. I’m a terribly slow starter in the mornings. I need to prowl around clutching my glass of orange juice for a while before my brain begins to kick into gear for the day!

I prefer writing in the quietness of the night, too, but can’t stay up as late as I used to.

I admit I do take days off but am plotting in my head until I sit back down to write it.

Rachelle is a class act indeed, and I, like Carol, was amazed that anyone took offense at her post. In her response, she came across as radiant, wise, and understanding. A great lesson in how to take lemons and make…a batch of glorious lemon cupcakes, beautifully decorated!!

Have to say, Judith took the words right off my thoughts; I’m doing a lot of “how to” reading to get back on course…and a BIG backlog of e-mails to read through…I believe it’s called procrastination :/. J J is still job hunting (all over the NW map) so no telling where we mite end up

I’m with Christi: I want a copy of that magnet, too. In fact three for me and two of my three daughters. I’ve been “on holiday” so long from my novel that it’s going to be a “start from scratch” kind of thing that takes me a weekend to get back into it. Next week…. maybe…. Oh-oh, there’s that old procrastination monster rearing its ugly head again.

I want that magnet! I have always been a night owl and that’s when I do my best work, but always pay for it in the mornings
