I also think that I should at least do a blog entry (I've had one written in my head for about two weeks), but I just don't do that. I sleep late. I watch television. I go outside and move snow. I do the things I need to do (conference calls, etc.), but I just can't be overly productive. Too many things are different, I guess.Tony Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725428614970482019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-79572723317167040782010-02-10T16:21:25.446-05:002010-02-10T16:21:25.446-05:00I completely understand.

I think our brains need that downtime. <br /><br />As for your writing career. Keep it up and one day before you know it...bam, you'll be fine.

And even if it's just a few words, it helps me to think that I'm stumbling towards a goal only I need to have. <br /><br />((hug)) try it. Just a couple words. Then go and play in the snow with your kids.JKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176569393506563218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-36841801148312540582010-02-09T15:05:29.809-05:002010-02-09T15:05:29.809-05:00We all have days like that.

I was up north last week with snow flying outside the hotel windows and got more done than I would have at home.<br /><br />It'll come back to you.MC Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135224394821535801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-30409870110618700122010-02-09T14:32:49.235-05:002010-02-09T14:32:49.235-05:00Isn't it amazing how easily the weather can co...Isn't it amazing how easily the weather can command our attention? Don't try and fight this down time. Look at the bright side: you had a breakthrough with plotting your next book and I've no doubt it will be as wonderful as "Some Kind of Normal".<br /><br />Do a puzzle, play a game, read, read, read. And have faith that your fallow period will lead to more productive times.kathrynjankowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708011523767228663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-88085104151771260912010-02-09T13:14:22.869-05:002010-02-09T13:14:22.869-05:00I'm living in that world right now.

The pictures are beautiful, but I know the reality of living in it gets old pretty fast.<br /><br />And, yes - I have felt the way you describe before. Too many times. My solution is this:<br /><br />two pages a day.<br /><br />You can do that. Two measly pages. let them be good or bad or whatever. but, by pushing through it, you'll free up those creative juices and feel sooo good.<br /><br />Kind of like exercise ;) One mile, two pages. We can do it!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. I look forward to *virtually* knowing you :DTesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-15226454568682541642010-02-09T12:12:35.715-05:002010-02-09T12:12:35.715-05:00Totally have days like that.

Last week I hardly wrote, but then I picked up a book and it motivated me again.<br /><br />Snow can be depressing, trust me I know. We've had snow on our front lawn since October. In fact my son said this morning that it was weird walking to school when it was light out.<br /><br />I'm hoping when the sun comes out the doldrums will fade and my motivation will return.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-14434123779985579162010-02-09T10:17:19.958-05:002010-02-09T10:17:19.958-05:00Mary - I'm so glad you feel ready to write thi...Mary - I'm so glad you feel ready to write this week! That gives me hope!<br /><br />Megan Rebekah - It's a good thing to know I'm not alone. I think today I need to find a quiet place and make a point of pushing through it. Although, the puppy votes for the walking the dog thing. :)Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-32151044056588882292010-02-09T10:07:03.016-05:002010-02-09T10:07:03.016-05:00I've felt like that a million times.

If I try to push through it and still can't get into it, then I move on to something else. Reading, emailing friends, cooking, walking the dogs... something productive :)MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-69087005242361777012010-02-09T09:58:19.402-05:002010-02-09T09:58:19.402-05:00I had that sort of week last week.
