I like it and it's specific to what you do as well, which is wonderful.<br /><br />Yup, allergies are bad like this week so far, I have a drippy nose and stuff head and this makes me wonder, cold or allergies. I may never know.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />LynnLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248059698236018186.post-53280984771512258952010-06-30T03:02:37.889-07:002010-06-30T03:02:37.889-07:00I can understand "those" types of days -...I can understand "those" types of days - especially when the allergies decide to masquerade as a cold (yep, quite a few times couldn't tell if it was one or the other the pesky buggers).<br /><br />When that - or writer's block or the zoo (as I call the characters) doesn't want to speak to me - one of several things happens:<br /><br />1. I do research.<br />2. Write non-fiction.<br />3. Keep up with reviewing (always fun).<br />4. Read (the TBR stack is slowly being whittled down - though it seems to multiply exponentially as well).<br />5. Since I'm a freelance proofreader, the proofreading helps in between the writing.<br />6. Listen to music - which genre depends on mood, what I'm writing, whatever else may be happening, and/or a combination thereof.<br />7. Cook.<br />8. If any of the above (or a combination thereof) fails, then fall on the 'activity of last resort' - cleaning.Gabby-Lily Raineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17594786113599623938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248059698236018186.post-15050735850124468342010-06-29T14:25:25.369-07:002010-06-29T14:25:25.369-07:00Janice,

As I've gotten older, the allergies flare up easier and if I sit too long my feet and back tell me I'm awful.<br /><br />But when I step into the world of my characters it's almost as if my own body doesn't exist. MOF I'll keep going and only when I try to get up will I realize I've been tuned into them for much too long.

You should just plow through them the best you can and know tomorrow will be better. It's rare any more that allergies bother me more than one day in a row as I won't let them. LOL!<br /><br />Just take it easy and relax. Everyone deserves one of those as well.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />LynnLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248059698236018186.post-41414340362582552552010-06-29T14:20:59.080-07:002010-06-29T14:20:59.080-07:00Kelle B,
I so understand your dilemma. My mother ...Kelle B,<br /><br />I so understand your dilemma. My mother passed over 8 years ago but before she died, I gave up a lot of my writing to help my father care for her. It took quite a while to get back in the swing of things. <br /><br />It took my father telling me my mother would kick my butt for giving up my dream for me to finally get it. He tells me a lot just how proud he is that I've followed my life long dream.<br /><br />My advice to you is...baby steps...commit to one thing. Like writing a hundred words a day. Or sitting at your computer even if it's to look at a blank screen. It may take a while but eventually, something will pique your interest and you'll be writing more and more.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />LynnLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248059698236018186.post-41980510053216227532010-06-28T12:07:53.213-07:002010-06-28T12:07:53.213-07:00I have allergies and asthma, spring and fall.

It can be hard to write with your head pounding and not being able to breath. <br /><br />Today its my back, but I found that when I go to that place where all writers go when they create their worlds that all my pain and discomforts go into the background, and I can write.<br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248059698236018186.post-64255090647955521582010-06-28T11:51:26.052-07:002010-06-28T11:51:26.052-07:00I'm feeling exactly this way today.

I just can't seem to get back into my writing. I know now I just need to sit down and start writing again even if they are just my daily thought - that should get me back on the right track! Have a great rest of the day!Kelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392222661390282793noreply@blogger.com
