Procrastination is actually part of my working process. I tell myself that at least the lost hours are used to meditate and plan about the work that will eventually start in a rush in the evening.<br /><br />Thanks you so much for your vist to my blog and the lovely remarks you made. It is wonderful to receive such encouragement when you've been having a few of those "what's the point anyway" days.<br /><br />A book I've loved recently was Desperate Romantics - The Private Lives of the Pre-Raphaelites" by Franny Moyle.valct4joyhttp://fotofanaticct.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-9459193378838781302009-11-14T15:00:51.987-05:002009-11-14T15:00:51.987-05:00You have all been wonderful, Simone and I are happ...You have all been wonderful, Simone and I are happy to have all your support.

You've completely captured the romantic writer's spirit, and all in merely telling the truth. <br /><br />I laughed at your sweetie enticing you to the shower...who could resist (I never can mine).

Writing is a process, with procrstination and languishing in simple pleasures an important part of the process. I believe writing is not like reporting the news of the day,which is hard, fast, deliberate and intense. I see writing as more of a love affair, each scene, each sentence, each phrase an interlude of delight, of evolution, of drama, of romance and much more. Such characteristics need to ne nurtured indeed. Thank you for making me smile.One Woman's Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583825153877354947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-19081312540005171422009-11-11T16:37:07.849-05:002009-11-11T16:37:07.849-05:00Dear Claire,

(Well a sunday one in this case, and a very enjoyable and creative one in the end)<br /><br />I like that the day wore out by it's own experiences and that despite you wanting to write in the first place, the day took it's own route and I think you still very much enjoyed it nonetheless. :)<br /><br />Have a blissful yoga session and a wonderful late dinner with your sweetie. All the best with your deadline too. I am sure you will do just fine.<br /><br />It is a great pleasure returning to your blog. :)Anahttp://expressiveworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-59475561580476934332009-11-11T15:45:26.533-05:002009-11-11T15:45:26.533-05:00LOL I absolutely loved this!
