Maybe it's the lack of heat, or the clutter, or the fact that too much is going on at home. I do my best work in a quiet carrell at my college library that has NO INTERNET ACCESS (which I think is really the key).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853246232184157570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396875931357506685.post-50575795637841883042008-12-12T14:52:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:52:00.000-08:00I like to do major cleanup and organizing between ...I like to do major cleanup and organizing between projects and then as the writing progresses and I accumulate far too mich material for the novel it piles up, plus all kinds of other things pile up out of neglect, because I am obsessed with the novel and only the novel.<BR/><BR/>When I am at certain stages of the writing I do take a time out to make order out of the disorder, so the neatness does cycle, but the mass of paper grows larger and larger until the novel is done, and then at a certain point zI go through and cull a great deal, and file the rest on shelves in the basement that are sort of an archive, with an area allotted for material connected to each book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848299368684251460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396875931357506685.post-15705609137164821182008-12-12T14:19:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:19:00.000-08:00Really?

The tail swished back and forth.<BR/><BR/>My writing office mutates from perfection of neatness to hideous piles of mess, and if you know me really well you can probably figure at a glance what stage I am at in my novel in progress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848299368684251460noreply@blogger.com
