You know you're not coherent but the brain keeps spinning...<br /><br />The interesting thing about rhythms is that they evolve. I believed I was locked into a rhythm of night writing, but this last book demanded attention first thing in the morning, and then again late in the afternoons. I guess that proves I'm alive and changing as I grow, like all living things.Elaine Marie Alphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130116746072382940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494350576833095591.post-24419702487028089952010-05-06T13:40:55.638-06:002010-05-06T13:40:55.638-06:00It's important to know your own rythms.

This is handy for when my backbrain has sorted things out while I was asleep - I'm fresh and so are the solutions. <br /><br />One bad thing: if I don't write enough, my brain refuses to shut off.

My brain isn't so much working at the story as endlessly picking at it.Peni R. Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781761011389542245noreply@blogger.com
