It's i...I like the 'writer twin' idea. It's interesting reading another's stories of the joys and troubles of writing!<br /><br />Do you find that when you let the 'garden of inspiration' grow, that it's more difficult to write afterwards? I know it sounds like a silly idea, but everytime I have a 'good idea' I feel compelled to insert it immediately, no matter how much of a rewrite will be required. For that reason I almost hate having them, as every time I start to move forward I end up going backward very quickly to incorporate it! It's sort of a race to write my novel before my mind is disturbed by another idea!GChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826063157974918911noreply@blogger.com
