I can't remember who said it (maybe Ray Bradbury?), but some wildly prolific writer, when asked about the secret to writing success, answered, "Two words: Butt glue." Isn't that fabulous? I have the following quote tacked above my desk (and of course I didn't think of writing down the name of the author all the years ago when I stumbled on it, so now I have no clue who said it, but rest assured it was someone really smart and writerly...hey, maybe it was you, Lynda!): <BR/><BR/>"The real writer is the one who stays at the desk." <BR/><BR/>Looking at that has convinced me (many a time) to sit there for a little longer (although I grumble), to sit and just try to eke out another sentence or even paragraph and not succumb to the nearly irresistible urge to hop up and see if anything else needs doing (like, even an unpleasant chore) or to see if there's whipped cream or Fluff for some cocoa (and if not, what better reason to leave the writing desk than to go to the grocery store and get some?). <BR/><BR/>Okay, shutting up now...<BR/><BR/>Keep blogging, Lynda!
