In the morning he looked at the pad and he had written the same thing down five times. He's a better accountant than writer.Karen V.

This is because my best ideas pop into my head as I'm drifting off to sleep. I keep a notebook and pen by my pillow and I've become very adept at scribbling in the dark. The key to legibility in the morning is to keep the pen moving left to right, and to leave bigger-than-you-think-you-need gaps between lines! Voila! <br />PS It's also a good excuse for the odd unscheduled nap - "Just going to do some thinking, dear."Grace Elliothttp://graceelliot-author.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585638012794043667.post-57189771319717898682011-06-25T15:11:57.441-04:002011-06-25T15:11:57.441-04:00Interesting how when you're editing, you see t...Interesting how when you're editing, you see things and wonder how they got there.

It is frusterating, but I am learning that a good story cannot be forced.

I knew I was in the process of writing but didn't think, just escaped myself and let my fingers work. Those are the pieces I love.<br /><br />And I've also been at points where I couldn't write but more so because of lack of time or when I do have time lack of focus. I always have too much to say, I think is my problem, so to choose what to say first takes more time than I have.Sarah Butlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04273012287632649177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585638012794043667.post-82865731230801205222011-06-24T23:03:53.038-04:002011-06-24T23:03:53.038-04:00can really connect to what you have said..can really connect to what you have said..JANUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983287092498427967noreply@blogger.com
