Hearing your keyboard click away is a very familiar and soothing sound for me. I know there are days where things don't go so smoothly, but I'm impressed by how things flow for you so often.<br /><br />Stacy, great dialogue. Now I know what I'm missing in the morning, although I've heard similar banter on many occasions.Dr. Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183182119832345967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-68566342707323802442014-03-31T19:58:35.669-04:002014-03-31T19:58:35.669-04:00@Cait WOW, that's a lot of discipline!

When I was writing my sci-fi book back in December, I got up at 6:30 every day for a week, went for a run, had my shower, then wrote 2K before breakfast and then another 4K or so throughout the rest of the day. I look back and think, " how did that even happen?!" Sometimes I'm just more inspired and productive, eh? ;) lol!

I actually feel like I have <i>very</i> supportive parents when it comes to my writing.

Sometimes I'm having a big, long conversation with her from one room to another and it takes me 10 minutes to recognize, "Oh, she's writing. Oops." <br /><br />She is very patient with me (at least on the outside - only she can speak for what is going on in her head - I suspect it's something like, "Oh my god, my mother can talk!") and I usually apologize and try to let her have her space and quiet to write. I know what it's like to be on a roll with writing and I know how important quiet, uninterrupted time can be in that process. <br /><br />And while I DO need to make sure that we get some other academics and housecleaning done around here, there's not much I can do about the little brother and dog. They DEMAND her attention. But they're both so loving and cute, it's hard to resist. ;) <br /><br />So, our side of this would go something like this:<br /><br />Anyone: Where's Kate?<br />Us: Writing.<br />Little Brother: Not playing with me.<br />Dog: WOOF!<br /><br />Anyone: What's Kate doing?<br />Us: Writing.<br />Little Brother: Not playing with me.<br />Dog: WOOF!<br /><br />Anyone: Is Kate available?<br />Us: She's writing.<br />Little Brother: I doubt it. She's not playing with me, so she's probably writing.<br />Dog: WOOF!<br /><br />Anyone: What does Kate like to do?<br />Us: Write, Read, Archery, Bake Cookies, Play games, watch movies, Hang out with friends, etc.<br />Little Brother: Write, write, write. Read, read, read. I'm seriously worried about that girl!<br />Dog: WOOF!Boquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.com
