I know where I get on the train and where I get off the train. I also have an idea of who my traveling partners are and a couple of the major stops I want to make. Then I keep my eye out for the unexpected side trips as I travel.<br /><br />Since I write long hand, I type my first draft into the computer staying as true to the original as possible,only tweaking minor grammar, spelling and sentence structure as I type. After that my first draft sits a while before revisions.<br /><br />Renee, I have an office with a door I can shut, but after the age of 2 they all figure out how to work the door knob.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />July 29, 2010 7:12 AMJulie Shumwayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04976087032618499249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088547169298619992.post-31652371300389358772010-10-10T10:14:40.020-04:002010-10-10T10:14:40.020-04:00This is a great reminder!

I read "On Writing" so long ago, I need to pick it up again.<br /><br /> Being at conference, I haven't done any writing in quite awhile, but I need to get back after it.

I know when I get caught up in plot it makes me want to hide my head in a rotted tree stump.<br /><br />I'm all for sitting butt in chair and write whatever comes to mind. One of these days I'll have myself an office where I can shut the door on all distractions.<br /><br />Awesome post!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10661396654827059313noreply@blogger.com
