Thanks for pointing that out.<br /><br />Welcome to the blog!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-77473791785256170142011-03-29T22:35:47.470-04:002011-03-29T22:35:47.470-04:00Deb: Let me know how getting up earlier works for ...Deb: Let me know how getting up earlier works for you. It's going to be a struggle for me, I know; even those few extra minutes of sleep are precious when one's night is only five hours long. I've got to stop staying up so late, but, because my husband works long hours, the kids go to bed kind of late (9:30 or 10 p.m.), and once they're in bed, I need time to relax before I try to sleep. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers for both of us.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-78744469398967430372011-03-29T22:31:58.037-04:002011-03-29T22:31:58.037-04:00Tara: love the quotes!

Take a moment to pat yourself on the back woman, and bask in that :) Congratulations!<br /><br />I think the biggest part for us writers, is sometimes we feel like we're not getting anything accomplished. In truth, we just have a lot to do. We're busy people :) We're definite multi-taskers. It doesn't matter (for the most part) what we're doing, our characters are asking for attention, or a terrific plot idea presents itself.<br /><br />Best of luck to you with your plan of waking up a few minutes earlier every morning. Honestly, I've found (for me) my best work in a WIP is fresh from bed in the morning, with a coffee beside me, my laptop on me.Carolyn Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848484073538930315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-25568380566999781742011-03-29T12:29:19.613-04:002011-03-29T12:29:19.613-04:00I've been thinking about this, too.

This means I'm writing the fluffy stuff when I have physical and mental energy, then leaving the heavy lifting for the part of the day where I can barely stay awake. Bad idea! Like you, I think I need to get up a few minutes earlier in the morning and make sure I'm giving what's really in my heart the greatest attention.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036505968642985025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-88290797529371680812011-03-29T12:12:48.748-04:002011-03-29T12:12:48.748-04:00Maximizing time must be the theme this week.

But I have a couple left =)<br /><br />"The time! The time! Who's got the time?" (favorite!) and "There just aren't enough hours in the day."<br /><br />Here's my quote: "Why does life have to get in the way?"Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.com
