Otherwise, it's a side stitch. :) You are so right when you say we have to start in order to finish.

I love when scenes from a book I'm immersed in writing play out in my head, at all hours of the day and night. Although I must confess, I enjoy the feel of my fingers on the keyboard, too! Even when it's a less than productive day. Amazing to think that in the end, we have an actual book to send in to our editors, isn't it? Sometimes when I start a new one, I wonder if that'll actually happen. But, as you noted, it's a lot like running! Gotta start in order to finish!Susan McBridehttp://SusanMcBride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-36063260601242213452010-03-27T09:11:54.872-04:002010-03-27T09:11:54.872-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Chris.

I never run--anywhere, unless it's to catch an airplane. My sis gets up at 4:30 every a.m. and fast walks for 6 miles. She's five years younger than I am, which still makes her way older than the rest of the Stiletto Gang.<br /><br />I love writing. I don't make excuses not to write, but rush through the have-tos so I can get to whatever I'm working on.<br /><br />However, I do day-dream about what I'm going to write, see the scene in my mind before I write it down.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

Got that?<br /><br />Great post, Rachel, as always. I was recently at a party, and someone asked, "What do you do?" and I replied, "I'm a freelance textbook editor." A friend, who had overheard the exchange, remarked, "You know, I think you've done enough to actually identify yourself as a writer." I guess I have Writer Impostor Syndrome as well. :-) MaggieDea, Kia, Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343657178001614404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-39314085685464197532010-03-26T07:24:11.316-04:002010-03-26T07:24:11.316-04:00Brilliant Rachel.
