It felt nice to write in quiet today, but Tajma (my dog) was really lonesome and demanded a lot of attention. I managed to give her some attention, and after a while of cuddling with her she was content to sleep on my feet and keep my toes nice and warm.
I finished On Writing. a wealth of info in it! The one thing I can't understand-- and I have had a few other people tell me they do the same thing--is how in the world he writes with music on. I guess there are different strokes for different folks, I really don't think I could do that, but one day I mean to try it. Maybe the music will drown out that nagging voice that keeps saying "what about that pile of laundry downstairs".
One of the things my DH has been telling me for years is to forget about research and just write the darn story. Stephen King says the same thing. maybe they are on to something. Anyone else out there write first and research later?
It has been extremely cold today. No amount of wood in the furnace could warm me, and there is a storm on the way. Maybe the kids will have a snow day on Wednesday.
