I know several people who are always telling me what great ideas they have, how they’ll be the next so-and-so Big Writer. But they never park themselves and do it.<br /><br />Thanks, Art. But how do you work without either absinthe or Cherry Pepsi. You must be a monk ;) . And good luck again!<br /><br />Thanks, Dieter. I’d love to hear your thoughts after you check it out.<br /><br />Thanks, Cathy. For me there’s just too many distractions in a coffee shop or library. And even if I were to go to the beach and no one was there I’d just want to be enjoying the beach. Some people find too many distractions at home, but I’m just the opposite.<br /><br />Thanks, Rachel. Always glad to supply music to go with anything. :-) <br />Paul D.

Glad you have the talent and drive to do the hard work because those who actually produce something know what blood, sweat and tears goes into every page. But your side trips whether through your imagination or actual drives with Amy sure do enhance the view of those mean streets you capture on the page.GBPoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190573764848658894noreply@blogger.com
