They really are influential!<br /><br />I am absolutely with you about screen privacy. Nobody gets to see my work but me, even though eventually I hope everybody sees it.

I sit in a quiet corner of the house with my back to the wall and plug in some soothing Piano music while I write. I usually leave keywords at the end to help me remind where the story is going.eNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556309500882619796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-867690065599462462012-08-30T10:32:27.602-07:002012-08-30T10:32:27.602-07:00Like the previous commenters, I am not a

I wrote a neighborhood news <br />column in an area newspaper for 8 years <br />in the 1970s/1980s. It was a different <br />type of writing, but still involving some<br />of the same principles and stylings. For<br />me, writing time was late in the evening <br />after all the children had gone to Pat Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997396930842831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-20071878059402353882012-08-30T09:23:08.145-07:002012-08-30T09:23:08.145-07:00I am not an author but I sometimes need to write s...I am not an author but I sometimes need to write something meaningful like our annual Christmas letter. Have found that I need either silence or music turned down, a good supply of coffee no matter whether instant or drip, my dictionary, and comfortable room temp. I know the last one sounds odd, but it is an issue for me.<br /><br />little lamb lst at yahoo dot comLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680968217522258788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-82878095095038269302012-08-30T05:28:41.752-07:002012-08-30T05:28:41.752-07:00I'm not a writer, but I certainly enjoy readin...I'm not a writer, but I certainly enjoy reading about the authors and how the book gets from their hand to mine!
