I'm inspired to hear that sustained creative effort is possible - I need to learn this myself - and that the housekeeping kept on happening, despite your not being completely there. Happy Christmas, Reed. I’m also glad to hear that your novel’s dancing in your brain!

I like it when stories take on a life of their own and start to dance around in the brain. #1 is what I have to take to heart. I've realised over the past few months that I do subconsciously believe that planet Earth will stop rotating if the laundry and ironing baskets are full or I don't do the dishes. But in 10 years time will I look back and say: "I wish I'd done more laundry!" or: "I wish I'd done more writing!"? Well, I will leave that question to answer itself... I'm getting the vibes about your novel. This is something good. This sounds so cool. I like it when stories take on a life of their own and start to dance around in the brain.

Or perhaps it's the guild seceret they don't want to share... Glad you found how to break through the block there, Reed!

You don't have to be obsessive compusive about it. Sounds like I need a deadline. So, if you are champing at the bit, get out those riding crops and start re-writing.

I agree on all points. I was particularly surprised to find that #8 is happening to me too. I was thoroughly prepared to want to throw away November's drivel, but I'm actually chomping at the bit to rewrite! Thank you for writing that post! I agree on all points.

My problem is that you have promised puzzles and jokes and sex (with riding crops) AND a murder. I am holding my greedy impatience at bay - just. But I will wait for the clean underpants I promise to wait patiently until after Hogmaney. My problem is that you have promised puzzles and jokes and sex (with riding crops) AND a murder.
