…well, here we are, Mabel…whizzing thought the first twelfth of the year…Christmas came…went…New Year’s Eve came…went…so where’s my new book I was supposed to be writing?…it’s on the way… patience…I’ve found this new gimmick (at least for me , its new…)…when the Berlin Wall of Authoring looms in the way of laptop output…switch the medium…(No, Mabel, not the lassie wi’ the ouija board…the medium of writing…) instead of sweating blood from the beaten brow on the novel, switch to doin’ yer Blog…the things I’ve discovered on here, doing this Blog, is rather than diverting my efforts on getting the next novel finished…instead, it stimulates the little grey cells by short sharp bursts of writing like this piece…try it…if ye get stuck on the tome, switch to doing a Blog… if ye get stuck on the Blog…switch to writing more of the novel…What’s that, Mabel? what if ye get stuck on both?…now, now , settle down, don’t be awkward now…if THAT happens, just write some more Blogs To Follow for yer mates in Blogland, here’s some :
