For me, sometimes the fun is there, big time, and then there are days when the fun disappears and every sentence seems like hard work. But in both instances, the game is still exciting and still carries me off to that special world.jean harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925805990806522316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-89148887596085257352016-01-11T10:48:23.507-08:002016-01-11T10:48:23.507-08:00Good post, Jean.

When it fails, I walk away for a while, like Anne Marie (happy birthday, Anne Marie!) because, really, if it isn't fun, why do it?

So it's fun--and sometimes exasperating--to see what they're up to. jean harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925805990806522316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-22764858496891158722016-01-11T08:15:09.558-08:002016-01-11T08:15:09.558-08:00I find both writing and reading to be fabulous esc...I find both writing and reading to be fabulous escapes. In fact, when the writing became too much like work this past year, I knew I needed to take a step back. The story is so much better when it feels like an escape. And I do love when the characters surprise me! :DAnne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.com
