They are never wasted words. I have often found surprisingly good phrases in my free writing that then find their way into my novel.

Trouble is everyone else thinks we are doing nothing. I was talking to a friend yesterday about how I feel I now trust my gut instinct when writing and tend to follow it. It is a real liberation.Ness Harbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370427313780759711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961986208219275679.post-46294230650275734762012-04-20T11:52:48.935+01:002012-04-20T11:52:48.935+01:00Really thought-provoking post!

I often tell myself I need to just trust the process, as bonkers as that feels when in the middle of it. Anyway, very glad to hear your writing pushed you back in your writing!Anne M Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547591113801578453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961986208219275679.post-42319842370953423902012-04-20T11:38:42.981+01:002012-04-20T11:38:42.981+01:00Splurging is such a great word.

One glass and I am anybody's. The worst thing is you still feel hungry so like with the alcohol I occasionally try eating something and then pay for it afterwards with so much pain. But hey I wouldn't be doing what I am doing if it hadn't happened so I will put up with anything. <br />Am glad you found it useful CandyNess Harbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370427313780759711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961986208219275679.post-86705416456889067212012-04-20T10:01:18.255+01:002012-04-20T10:01:18.255+01:00I can't imagine what it's like not to eat ...I can't imagine what it's like not to eat but am reassured to hear you can take alcohol!
