It might not seem like you accomplished as much as you had hoped, but your trip to Italy was inspirational, and it could affect your writing in unanticipated ways. <br /><br />Katrina N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-83740815699647482452010-07-28T18:55:31.090-05:002010-07-28T18:55:31.090-05:00That's a good way to look at it, Mom.

Maybe you'll get a chance to complete that chapter before Ashlyn finishes summer school; maybe not. No doubt life at times gets in the way of writing. When that happens to me I take comfort in knowing I'm not alone and regard what I'm going through potentially leading to another book or essay or positively impacting my WIP.Deborah Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132792562364747466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-40729744919663817972010-07-26T11:24:02.971-05:002010-07-26T11:24:02.971-05:00Hi Miss Sharp,

Glad to know that laundry and dishes count!<br /><br />I thought I'd get to writing today, but this ongoing issue with my youngest child's digestive tract is not clearing up. I think she picked up a bug from contaminated water in Italy. We have run all sorts of tests and have one more to run, plus a specialist tomorrow. Poor kid.<br /><br />Writing is definitely on the back burner for now.<br /><br />KimKim Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100854132576647442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-28490035647753420942010-07-25T23:15:51.870-05:002010-07-25T23:15:51.870-05:00Holy cow, there's someone else in this boat wi...Holy cow, there's someone else in this boat with me! I thought I was all alone. <br /><br />Yes, laundry counts. And so do dishes. And swimming when you'd rather be writing (or at least reading). <br /><br />My "plan" consisted of thinking up scenes and outlines and doing lots of mental character development. AKA good old-fashioned daydreaming.<br /><br />Hopefully I'll be able to pull at least some of it out of the dusty cobwebs in my brain come September! And by then I'll be losing this stupid tan I didn't really want to get! <br /><br />3 Cheers for Autumn! ;)Miss Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045004653114991953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-40027408240822877072010-07-23T23:43:09.763-05:002010-07-23T23:43:09.763-05:00And through it all you have maintained a sense of ...And through it all you have maintained a sense of humor - mostly.
