Comments on: I Didn’t Write Today http://msbookish.com/i-didnt-write-today/ Everything I know, I learned from a book. Well, maybe not everything ...

Even though you didn't meet your word count quota for the day or yesterday, it's still inspiring to hear that you made your writing a priority for the day. Sometimes I find myself stuck...I have the scene in my head, I know what I want to happen, and I'm in some world of bliss, but I just can't bring myself to pick up a pencil and write it down--like it will spoil the moment somehow.

Stick to it, writer! Today I had a message from one of the other participants in my writing course. She suggested we should read each others´ crime manuscripts. It sounds very useful - I am much better at living up to other people´s expectations than just writing for my own sake. .-= Dorte H´s last blog ..<a href="http://djskrimiblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/antonia-fraser-oxford-blood-1985.html" rel="nofollow">Antonia Fraser, Oxford Blood (1985)</a> =-.
