All I see for the post here though is a title and her bio - which seems to be there to say 'this person has done a lot, so must have something interesting to write about'. I'd much rather that you start with what she actually has to say, so I can decide whether to visit the web page. If I have a lot to review, when I see something like this I often just skip to the next one.

As a yet-to-be-published author with a WIP, and 3 on the back burner, I find my creativity and writing focus has increased now that I'm in the throes of periomenopause. Though each of my projects have dedicated notebooks, I love the idea of having one to catch the random potpourri that shows up in my brain.

Re 3AM: If I get a *really* terrific idea, I get up, go into the bathroom so as not to disturb my DH and, in the dark, write that piece of genius down in 2 or 3 words. For some reason, writing it down lets me go back to sleep *and* I have a way to actually remember my 3AM inspirations which often turn out to be really useful. + notebooks everywhere!!! :-)Ruth Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246050315747917109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-36519629237765620312017-09-15T09:51:14.442-04:002017-09-15T09:51:14.442-04:00This is all great advice!

I've been writing for years, but have only recently committed to it as a kind of "job." I'm still getting used to telling people that I'm a "writer" when they ask what I do (besides, you know, raising the kids and keeping the house). <br /><br />thanks for a great post!!Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134771358325901297noreply@blogger.com
