Dead simple stuff, but again, 2-300 words a day. <br /><br />That this happens in the busiest part of my work week probably has something to do with it.<br /><br />Barbara, that sounds like a good idea, but I'm a 'start at the beginning and go straight to the end' type of guy. :)<br /><br />Charles, you are wise beyond your years...Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-89944181778947803542009-08-28T00:20:45.552-07:002009-08-28T00:20:45.552-07:00Ditto what CS said.....Good luck rolling on.

If it gets too difficult to come up with appropriate words, I tend to work on another portion of the manuscript that I may perceive as being easier to write. As I outline now, this makes life easier to work on sections at a time.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052003455667869062.post-35840580638417371702009-08-27T15:43:06.641-07:002009-08-27T15:43:06.641-07:00Glad to hear the writing's going great.

Glad to hear yours cleared up!cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.com
