May I refer to it in my blog's Monday Metaphors when I do puns?<br /><br />http://barbarabockman.wordpress.comBarbaraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689988620214233757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996127547673665644.post-71478754275548425612011-08-03T00:42:34.358-07:002011-08-03T00:42:34.358-07:00D'Ann,

Once that turns on, I'm already writing letters in my head that I need to send to editors, planning out my day, mentally going over contracts...no room for writer-me. (Luckily, my inner critic also tends to sleep in, letting me get words on page more easily. I let the critic out for the revision and polishing stages.) Part of the reason I got an agent who wasn't me or associated with me was so that I could have the business side of my work at a remove.Luciennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623495717686594712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996127547673665644.post-33386598385922616302011-08-02T20:33:57.941-07:002011-08-02T20:33:57.941-07:00Yay, I made it!

It would save me massive amounts of time!<br /><br />Casea, I have more trouble with it in the summer, so I'm up in a lounge chair by 8 a.m. before it gets too hot. After that, I put my Kindle in a ziplock and do my work reading for several more hours either in the pool or taking frequent dips to cool off.Luciennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623495717686594712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996127547673665644.post-10656388444921859832011-08-02T17:51:24.308-07:002011-08-02T17:51:24.308-07:00I wish I could write outside in the sunshine but i...I wish I could write outside in the sunshine but it's been triple digits since June.<br /><br />Congratulations on your upcoming releases.Casea Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414217239247695227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996127547673665644.post-81545013031347702332011-08-02T17:08:16.010-07:002011-08-02T17:08:16.010-07:00Great post!
