Lovely post, honey bear. xoxo

Whatever else may come and go, you still have what is, in my opinon, the coolest user name ever. Hands down. :snap: :snap: :snap:

And that should be plenty to prove that you are cool, spiffy, and even swanky.

Thanks, all, for your warm words. Every new day starts out with the promise of swell and goes hell usually before noon recently, so I will carry them with me tomorrow and think fondly of you.

As for Jennie, or anybody else who likes the idea of writing three pages (or more than three pages) every day... you're right, lady. I made excuses for myself for a very long time (even once we got the book. Oh, this week we have to do the laundry. Oh, this week we're dealing with a work crisis. Oh, this week I have to wash my hair) and I eventually realized that all I was doing was excusing myself from creative expression that had the potential to help me deal with whatever was ridiculous and looming in my path. And the same is true for all of us. We're creative by nature, the human beings.

So you don't want to get up any earlier right now? OK. That's OK. I wasn't ready at first, either. But when your yearning for a creative existence overcomes your sleep deprivation, you know where I am. (And where I've been.)

I salute you and your three pages a day regimen. I know that the challenge is daunting, but the reward is more than worth the effort. I admire anyone who willingly wakes up early to create.

This method would be hit and miss with someone as damaged as I. I am not a morning person. I have attention deficit and can barely dress myself.

You, on the other hand, are fashioning your escape pod three pages at a time, woven of the finest rainbow-hued daydreams, memories and conjectures.

I tend to wing it, welcoming each deadline as a flirtatious dance with the devil.
Bring it!

You will succeed.

Three a day? Writing goddess. I'm lucky if I get three paragraphs a week on Manufacturing the Magic!

Yet it is still a YAGE:

Wow, I had no idea how fortunate I was to run into you a few weeks ago! Keep up your writing- the process is just as important as making the time for yourself. You DO deserve it. Sorry to hear about all your family woes right now. At least you won't run out of things to write about. :rolleyes:

Hang in there, kiddo!

Any chance of you guys joining us for gay day? Or sometime soon?
