Well, I just love ...I can't believe I missed this! Well, I just love you and your my scarf. I hope I'll pick up your book one day.<BR/><BR/>My writing timer was a page. I had to write a page, but if I finished a page and had more to say, I kept writing. If I had seven pages by the end of the week, I didn't have to write on the weekends, but if I had eight, it wouldn't get me out of writing any other days. I had to work on a page, at least, every Monday through Friday. Sometimes I did so much research that I worked nine hours and only wrote a page. But a page a day for a year adds up to a manuscript!fuquinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996168855030440765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-24021854195320331202009-01-29T09:55:00.000-05:002009-01-29T09:55:00.000-05:00The idea of the scarf that leads you to a regular ...The idea of the scarf that leads you to a regular working habit at home is wonderful and it really inspires me. I have been struggling to keep pushing my own work 'at home' while handling every daily life as a mom, wife, and piano teacher. I will adopt your 'scarf idea' for my work.<BR/>I am writing in Korean on my blog, wishing to publish a book with part of the essays in the future, like you. I have really been enjoying your meditative essays and photos since the first visit by chance. So happy to find you and your blog!현수https://www.blogger.com/profile/17586285948528906515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-27270176470542639742009-01-28T23:31:00.000-05:002009-01-28T23:31:00.000-05:00Fabulous scarf!!
