Suffice it to say, all is good in the kingdom now. <br /><br />I am glad to know it's not just me and Pulitzer winner Robert Olen Butler who struggle to silence the nonwriter self. At least I know there are three of us in the world!Sheri Perl-Oshinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025716805041579831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971808675697780700.post-74710743246256981202009-09-14T16:22:24.769-04:002009-09-14T16:22:24.769-04:00Great post!

The exception being when I'm really stuck. But I do tend to wait for that inspirational moment to strike before starting something new. <br /><br />I am trying something new, though, to try to keep sharp during this limbo between projects. I have a pretty little notebook that I keep on my nightstand, and I use it to write one poem before bed at least a couple of nights a week. <br /><br />Right now I'm going through a hard-copy edit of my novel in verse, and it's hard to do without quiet. But I'm not planning on starting anything new (novels, anyway) until NaNoWriMo.Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971808675697780700.post-49035636993536145522009-09-10T21:12:01.033-04:002009-09-10T21:12:01.033-04:00THanks Kelly.
