Or on the back steps. Somewhere. Anywhere. Without your iPod. I promise you'll be glad you did.Olivia J. Herrell, writing as O.J.

But like so many things in my life lately, it seems the stars or something(s) have recently clicked in to place. The title came first, one word. Then another. And those from just driving around my new world in NoGA.<br /><br />Saturday, again driving, the last word in the title fell in to place and from there the novel was born.<br /><Olivia J.

But I do get plenty of quiet time in the car on my commute.<br /><br />One of the things I liked about the old place was that we had a door in our bedroom going to the deck out back; if it was at least 50 degrees outside I'd take my coffee out there in the morning.

They say it takes a couple weeks to ingrain a habit, so maybe the tea-outdoors will have to be deliberate for a while, but wow--do you think it got you a novel that fast? I'm working on my first, having had only one idea (ever), but I'm hooked.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847195321533568990.post-22978838085424443152010-03-07T10:15:39.555-07:002010-03-07T10:15:39.555-07:00Thanks, Jerry.

Though yesterday's was brief (had to be out of the house by 7:30), on the way home I was rewarded by the car fairy (where I get more quiet time) with an idea for a short story...which quickly fleshed itself out to a novel! Yay! Thanks for dropping in, I'll be looking in on you, too.Olivia J. Herrell, writing as O.J.

Make a vow to divorce yourself from the computer just for a while each morning. If nothing else you can lament the fate of those poor idiots that immediately sign on upon wakening.<br /><br />Enjoyed this.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.com
