After a certain point, reading tons of other people's advice about writing simply becomes a procrastination tactic against writing your own words.Camille Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031841106283355784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-11509565575157150732007-09-10T08:47:00.000-04:002007-09-10T08:47:00.000-04:00Cool.

Writers group during week is no longer a regular thing, although all afternoon and night one Sunday a month for other writers group is. Overtime has been less (except for Thursdays, that's my "It Sucks to be Steve" day), although it's been growing again with the "can you get this out before you leave" requests.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-67295396033647952422007-09-09T18:25:00.000-04:002007-09-09T18:25:00.000-04:00Jim, that's (w)right (sorry, couldn't resist).

I keep at it, I keep getting words out and I keep submitting them (both to the writing group I belong to and then to editors). <BR/><BR/>I did a post earlier this year on my schedule constraints. (damn, don't have a search feature on this here blogger). <A HREF="http://storybones.blogspot.com/2006/12/ti-i-i-ime-is-on-my-side-yes-it-is-not.html" REL="nofollow">Here it is (back from December)</A>.<BR/><BR/>Everybody writes differenty. What works for you is the best, because it works. <BR/><BR/>I have thought that if I get re-elected this year (vot for me!) that I'll drop the freelance design work. I don't have very many clients left (I only kept the ones I liked). But I could do without the stuggles and the last minuteness of their requests.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-69179263027843940842007-09-09T17:55:00.000-04:002007-09-09T17:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for the advice, Steve.

Which means you approach it as a job, regular hours, office environment, actually get dressed - not sit around in your sweats unshowered and unshaven. <BR/><BR/>But, ultimately, I guess it comes down to what works for each of us.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.com
