When I'm not working on developing ideas, or if I do not write even a snippet for a scene in my book, it's as though my characters and ideas are mulling around in my brain because they are waiting, they are bored, they want life. My book demands my attention each day like a growing child. Even though I am a busy mom, working full time, I sneak in moments to catch an image here, a conversation there on paper. I get up at 5 a.m. each day and have one glorious hour to myself to enter into the world of my writing. Some day I'll get the first draft of a manuscript finished, but for now I'm finding that the daily process of attending to it keeps it alive and full of surprises, and it keeps me wanting to go back for more.MaggieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932748871389199333noreply@blogger.com
