The sun has set on Friday evening, and with it, all of my manic energy. <br /><br />I invested heavily in some nap-territory on the green cushy couch. Arose to soak in hot tub with two kitty visitors. Talked hours to Boston Barbara, and now will nod off over newly started novel.<br /><br />Tomorrow, Sabbath, I'll sleep, piddle in yard, catch a movie, and forget that Sunday will bring a plow to put my hand to.<br /><br />Shabbot Shalom!<br /><br />HA!

What was it I heard about the writer of A Time Traveller's wife--it took her 10 years to write it? <br /><br />Susan, knowing your personality, I would say that another story is waiting for you to finish this one to show up in your conscious mind. It knows you like a tidy work area, and is waiting for you to clear the decks!<br /><br />Thank you both, Susan and Anna, for your encouragement. I am very afraid I'm going to fail at this, but your response gives me hope!Mary Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868777080232113264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340427356258282586.post-73589306911425370702010-10-18T18:18:28.435-04:002010-10-18T18:18:28.435-04:00MK, I don't think your creative juices have ru...MK, I don't think your creative juices have run out !<br />When you've worked on the same singular story for almost two years because deep down you know you don't have a breadcrumb of an idea for another story, that's a creativity problem that deceptively appears to others as admirable self discipline !<br />Rock on girl and keep doing what you do !<br /><br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286245944657301413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340427356258282586.post-33612873872890416222010-10-16T18:25:19.933-04:002010-10-16T18:25:19.933-04:00Hey, I consider getting age spots lasered to be ve...Hey, I consider getting age spots lasered to be very productive! I agree, though, that it is important to have those days where we allow ourselves to do nothing much but piddle around with no "to do" list. My friend calls them "pajama days" because she leaves them on all day. I also am concerned that I don't have what it takes to finish my book but have decided that is not a worry I want to take on. There are worse things out there that need worrying about! Good luck with NaNoWriMo; that's an amazing undertaking and I'm in awe of your creative juices.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229575774675164157noreply@blogger.com
