Then read it, from beginning to end. I know where you're coming from. I have 60,000 words of a novel written and just can't seem to go further. So in the meantime, I'm blogging. I'm writing short fiction. And yes, non fiction is good. I find writing at home is distracting, not because I have anyone asking for tea, but because I have excuses to get up and do something else. So I go to a cafe with free wifi and let someone else cook me a meal or make me a cuppa. So, no, it doesn't surprise me you do likewise. :-)Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-60985509924211554942015-05-30T19:10:50.519+01:002015-05-30T19:10:50.519+01:00Lovely post, Lari.

I hope it doesn't make me sound horrible if I say that I found some relief in the fact that you also don't always find it easy to summon the necessary inspiration to make your imagination flourish? I very much hope you find your way back into your current book. I worked really hard at giving mine the nourishment it needed over this last week, and had some modest progress. Green shoots, though they still look vulnerable. And now I have two weeks of events and fractured thinking, but what I hope is that something organic will happen while I do that, now that I've sown and watered the seeds.<br /><br />And now i'll stop mixing metaphors.<br /><br />Good luck, Lari, and may the ideas flow. xxNicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847390687632715336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-18944438376984742802015-05-30T10:01:09.035+01:002015-05-30T10:01:09.035+01:00"The peaceful focus" - is there anything..."The peaceful focus" - is there anything in the universe more longed-for, more powerful? Well, probably, but not by/for writers!

I was thinking of so many of the things you put so well. It takes emotional energy to write and it is not always possible to summon it. catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-73442151604332642015-05-30T07:55:55.529+01:002015-05-30T07:55:55.529+01:00Lovely post.
