Writing is difficult, and it takes a tremendous amount of dedication and discipline. Sometimes, I want to avoid my manuscript because I know how much work needs to be done. The only way to overcome this is to sit down in front my computer and start writing (even if I know it will all be deleted later). Once I start, the ideas come. Sometimes, music and coffee help, too.(less)
Aviva Orr It is very rewarding to see your ideas in print and to have readers who spend their valuable time reading your work. I love hearing from my readers:)
