Sentence of the Day: Her name floated mid-air, like a puff of dandelion seeds.

Doing life in the midst of writing a novel is a challenge. Or would it be writing a novel in the midst life that is more challenging? Hmm.

Honestly, though, how many authors can claim to write non-stop, full-time, without having to see to the necessities of the humdrum? Not many. In fact, most authors I know must slog through a 40 hour work week before, during, and after they squeeze in writing time.

Which reminds me of a quote by author Cory Doctorow:

"Write even when the world is chaotic, You don't need a

cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair, or inner

peace to write. You just need ten minutes and a

writing implement."
