But I can get right back into my groove after reading a great passage in a novel or essay.

When I'm writing I can't read fiction (I do read other stuff though) I always felt it was a huge disadvantage or flaw in my writerly mind, until I read a recent articel by danielle Steel who declared that when she's in the throes of writing a new book she never reads other author's books. Whew! I felt better after that. When I'm not actually in the writing process I read a lot though.<br /><br />(VERY GLAD all went well with Christopher!

I really do learn a lot by figuring out why a novel works or doesn't for me.<br /><br />I'm so happy to hear the procedure went well for Christopher. :DTricia J.

It's joy beyond joy when the words flow, page after page, chapter after chapter, and you have this sense of exhiliration, and accomplishment, that leaves you exhausted in the best way possible at the end of the day.<br /><br />Writing is hard, but the rewards, whether published or not, are worth it when you hold the final draft in your hands.<br /><br />S<br /><br />p.s.

Writing and reading are mental travel, or so it seems to me. Reading is easy, writing is work. The discipline to show up and face the music of a blank page is daunting. The courage to believe you can write words someone else wants to read, and then to actually write is hard work. Writing is work, hard work, this scares the waddin' out of some folks. :)<br /><br />I'm beginning to feel like a word detective. Solving word mysteries, arranging word puzzles to tell stories and share life, people want to know how we solved a particular life mystery. Curiosity!<br /><br />So happy for Christopher! He deserves the best!<br /><br />Blessings!the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-19304233405431334582010-12-03T07:16:59.380-05:002010-12-03T07:16:59.380-05:00I'm glad I love reading.
