It was a moment). <br /><br />Personally, my problem is not getting my brain to switch off, but finding the time to write everything down it feeds me. Then my brain thinks I'm ignoring it, refuses to cooperate, and stands with its back turned towards me and its arms crossed. Switch off if you want to, Shirley, but don't you dare forget to switch back on! I already know I NEED your next book! :)Betsy Horvathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074417292321186230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-27874906258282496442011-06-26T08:18:34.730-07:002011-06-26T08:18:34.730-07:00Stevie - Thank you for the birthday wishes.

I think even when we try to take down time, the creative part of our brains keep chugging along, keeping the ideas coming. That's why we can't not write (even though we can use bad grammar).

I didn't really switch off, although I think it's a good idea to do so now and again. Maybe. ;)<br /><br />Marcelle - Thank you so much and the same to you. I'm having cake later. And something bubbly. I hope you are you. Have a great day and a wonderfully successful year!<br /><br />Toni - Thank you for the birthday wishes. I don't think I switch off while I sleep either. I know I fall asleep worrying about some plot point and when I wake up, I've sorted it.

Or when I'm being torn between suncream, agendas, making lunch and breakfast at same time, and checking email? Then I'm generally not thinking about stories. The rest of the time.
