I find myself getting irritable and depressed if I go too long without working on my fiction (of course, I also have the typical writer's tendency to procrastinate). When I finally sit down and do even one scene of my novel-in-progress, the clouds lift. Only afterward do I realize, "THAT'S what I needed!" So when people ask how I produce so much, even with a full-time job, that's the reason. Just think--I'd be even grouchier if I didn't!E. F.

Feeding the beast regularly keeps it friendly and stops those unpleasant thoughts when my children aren't back when they said they would be.<br />Alas I've never seen enough umbrellas in one place to have a conversation:D but cactus are great listeners and have their own personalities.Linda Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290703660068761055noreply@blogger.com
