If I can't formulate a good sentence, I'll just start typing to see what appears on the screen. It's kind of like a runner stretching her muscles before going out on the road. But if I just can't get going, I turn off the computer, take out a pad or book of nice paper, pick one of my writing instruments like a roller ball or fountain pen and leave the study. Sometimes I go out to the porch, sometimes I get in the car and drive to a favorite spot then I settle down and begin. I know when it's time to get back to the keyboard when my writing turns into fast scribbles and my favorite pen can't keep up! Works every time!(less)

message 1: by Susan

Susan Reiss The idea of writing a novel is exciting. The process daunting, lonely and requires courage when the page is blank and the cursor keeps flashing: waiting... waiting...waiting.
When the book is done, the need for courage is even greater. That's why I burst out laughing when I found this quote today:
“A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down... If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it it is a bad book nothing can help him.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay
She describes it beautifully! Do you agree?
