Hello and Happy Friday,

Today is a writing day for me and I hope for you too. I'm trying to write in a few places I usually can't because I'm supposed to be doing something else at the time, but the time when I want my book finished and in the world is coming up quickly and I want to make that date and be happy with the results; so I'm squashing in writing when I can. It's funny how finding the time to write can be a challenge as we all attest to, but what makes it so wonderful is that you're writing!!!--even if you have to do it while trying to take a bath, wash dishes, do laundry, ride home on the bus; you put a few notes down, write a paragraph, do a bit of research, it leaves you almost giddy because you know; despite the difficulties, interruptions (you have to get off the bus at your stop) challenges, you know you're doing what you love and in the end you'll have a novel, short story or poem that you created.

So stop whatever else you're doing and write something.

Until next time, God willing

Lori
