When I was a teacher, at the end of the semester, when I desperately needed to be grading papers, I wanted nothing more than to cook and clean house. As soon as the pressure of the year's end was over, I lost all interest in being domestic. I think we all tend to seek equilibrium. If you're having to drive yourself to write, take a break from writing. It works for me.Susan Adcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784113588273475714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-50646944432632513102013-07-08T19:51:20.422-04:002013-07-08T19:51:20.422-04:00Olga - good luck with Oprah!

You just need little bits of time, as long as they add up. My advice. Turn off the email and use a timer. Write u til the timer goes off.

Get cranking on that book. ;)Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-32054330504780690622013-07-07T11:13:40.664-04:002013-07-07T11:13:40.664-04:00Don't under rate war.

Every so often we have to dip our toes in it to remind ourselves just how horrible it is. It probably is one of the few endeavors of mankind that allow one to fully be in the moment, along with news of one's impending hanging, as Samuel Johnson noted.

I know there are times when I end the day thinking what have I accomplished? <br />I believe we put a lot of emphasis on doing, rather than being. In the rush to get things done, we lose touch with our creative side because it takes thought, and thoughtfulness. <br />Good luck!
