Like sixteen hours of sitting and writing a day. <br /><br />My neck sounds like a tree in the wind when I turn it afterwards.<br /><br />I don't do it for any reason other than it is easiest for me to keep my mind on all threads if I do it all at once.<br /><br />I'm easily distracted, so I focus exclusively on the skeleton.<br /><br />And it isn't very impressive when you realize how long the rest takes. So things like that all come out in the wash. Meaning I wrote my second novel eighteen months ago and I'm still on the plastic surgery part.<br /><br /><br />S.R.

It's easier to cross streets and stuff, you can hold on.<br /><br />Also, I think that the process becomes smoother and somewhat easier as time goes on. If anyone knows otherwise, please drive by without commenting. Thank you.S.R.

Why should writing be the same? I asked my husband yesterday why the process was so difficult and ridiculous, and he just kind of looked at me. Didn't even blink.<br /><br />Rude.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924028116296474975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891315061138069736.post-86918736868485749432014-01-02T20:26:18.345-05:002014-01-02T20:26:18.345-05:00The worst thing about gnomes, Kelsey, is there are...The worst thing about gnomes, Kelsey, is there are so many of them!<br /><br />Thanks, LaD!S.R.
