But I do daydream, and let my thoughts wander, and sometimes they come back with a new plot twist, or a story. So it's never really wasted.

It is hard to squeeze everything in.<br /><br />My full-time job ended and I'm off this week. So I hope to finish my manuscripts. I'm about 4 scenes away. YaY! Of course, I'm social networking instead of working on my WIP.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-13745652476424353292011-04-20T02:04:28.126+10:002011-04-20T02:04:28.126+10:00I would love to get a Netbook.

The flight was the most productive I've ever had. lol.<br /><br />Yay for the first draft. I'm not doing too bad with writing, but I'm in edit mode at the moment. When I write a first draft, I do a chapter a day in the evening. That way I try to fit the other stuff I have to do around it. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313619484424363895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-13269710532084902382011-04-19T21:21:22.424+10:002011-04-19T21:21:22.424+10:00You are a better commuter than me!!

My blood pressure soars so much when my trains are delayed, late, non-existent due to signaling problems, broken down trains, vandalism, no staff... that I end up falling into a deep sleep!!!

Did you get that job you wanted? <br /><br />Promotion, writing, working, blogging, traveling, where do you even find the time for one, never mind five.

The netbook is coming to work again though, and I'll be spending lunchtime writing (my commute is too short to get much done - I walk fifteen minutes to my bus, and once I'm on the bus I'd only have the netbook booted up and it would be time to shut it down again!).<br /><br />Sounds like you're really making some traditionally 'dead time' work for you - well done :)Ellen Brickleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184391430927483100noreply@blogger.com
