W...I followed you over here from Twitter and #FF. <br /><br />What a luxury for you to have uninterrupted time for your writing! <br /><br />After a summer spent entertaining my three boys, I so NEEEEED that. Actually, I would prefer to be dropped off at an island for a week with my laptop, a good book and a philosophical, handsome bartender at a tiki bar serving fresh lime juice margarita's and an outdoor dance floor with a dj who plays music from this millennium.Aspen Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947784606220533297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-41845195250442805942009-08-20T19:17:30.813-07:002009-08-20T19:17:30.813-07:00Days to write...the thought is positively pornogra...Days to write...the thought is positively pornographic.

Well, I am going to Squam so that will be woodsy and lakeside and blissfully kid free. ;-)<br /><br />A whole day in the middle of the week sounds heavenly!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518005474586272743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-9198510748159387872009-08-20T15:13:34.992-07:002009-08-20T15:13:34.992-07:00I had truly mixed emotions about admitting that I ...I had truly mixed emotions about admitting that I want to write a book. Largely because I'm a blogger. And it's just such a stereotype. <b>But I don't think of myself as a blogger!</b><br /><br />I decided to pull a book out of my bookshelf about book publishing yesterday. Finally just read it. So much of it is about building your platform. Passages like, "See if you can get a blog to mention you." and "If you could land a spot on a conference panel..." Sigh. I mean, really? <br /><br />Could it be possible that we've built our platform? That it's time to find that agent and get that book written? That seems wild.<br /><br />And worst of all, now I've gone and admitted what I want. So all the world will see if I don't make it happen. ;)Megan {Velveteen Mind}http://www.velveteenmind.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-91958176547556554492009-08-20T11:58:07.315-07:002009-08-20T11:58:07.315-07:00I've only found you recently, but your book wi...I've only found you recently, but your book will be selfish coffee shop read too.. unwrapping all your sentences, reading bits out loud like a poet .<br />I hope you get the time to make this happen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-13971181917373319732009-08-20T11:32:04.286-07:002009-08-20T11:32:04.286-07:00I cannot wait to curl up with you!I cannot wait to curl up with you!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002966932102716684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-61001545747745023202009-08-20T11:18:48.817-07:002009-08-20T11:18:48.817-07:00I used to think it sounded like such a cliche when...I used to think it sounded like such a cliche when people would talk about there not being enough hours in the day. Now my whole life is beat the clock. There is so much that I want to do, but don't have time. I resent sleep...

I started work on mine (again) yesterday, and I am invigorated...<br /><br />...AND praying that the feeling lasts; it has to, in order to me to be motivated enough to move mountains to make time to write it!<br /><br />Eyes on the prize!!!Melisa Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252498482861679154noreply@blogger.com
