The editors work hard to make sure the newsletters are informative and enjoyable and appreciate your responses.
Puditat "Diane, once again I seem to have the opposite problem. I find it hard to write in winter (now!) as my fingers get so cold over the keyboard. I spend half my day stoking the fires and getting in firewood. Roll on summer..."
Hey, together we could write all year! Maybe we need to talk...
Nikola~Thankful "As long as you're enjoying your summer, Diane! I think I'm more inspired in spring and fall. Something about the changing of the seasons..."
Hmmm, I completely forgot about those seasons! The changes in scenery do inspire me as well.
Strange Wulf "Heh. I know how it is. Writing always seems harder in the summer months, perhaps because we become conditioned in school to think of it as a time to relax and not work. At least, not the kind of work we do in the winter months.
Hope you can break the bad habit at least every now and then, like I have, because even a little bit of writing is still writing!"
I'm happy you've given me insight into the reason behind my slacking! I do write in the summer, just not as often.
Tehanu "I agree with you, Diane! The summer is meant to be lived - to play sports, soak up the sun, and travel.
Perhaps winter was simply invented for authors to curl up by a roaring fire - to take time to read, write, and consume much chocolate.
I enjoyed reading your newletter!"
Perhaps summer is meant to rejuvenate our writing batteries. I'm all for the chocolate consumption, but that's got to happen all year long!
bymydesigns "I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed this newsletter very much, and thank you for doing it! As for your guilt...lose it! Think of this summer as your research for all those stories you will be writing come winter and then just sit back and enjoy. Life is too short to stress about writing. (and besides, if you HAVE to write something, how much fun is that)?
Thank you for all these great stories to read...I can't wait to get to them. (but right now I need to shut up and get to work. <sigh>"
I try not to force myself to write as that takes the joy out of the experience. Thanks for the reminder.
laregna "Hi! I wanna thank you for highlighting "Fixing up the Summer" in the July 7th Newsletter. That was a wonderful surprise! And I know how frustratingly guilty it is to want to write, but just can't find the time. It seems my novel has stalled indefinitely...ah well. I just keep plugging away! Keep the great newsletters coming!"
You're welcome and good luck with your novel.
