This blog is in the process of an overhaul--I didn't make that very clear at LinkedIn because I was focused on giving feedback on what I've learned about setting up a blog. <br />I took a lot of earlier posts out, and plan to post more often now that I finally got the format down.<br />Again, I appreciate you stopping by! <br />You are so right--Different is a good thing. :) You made me smile.Jeannie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00450618358681616482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392133596903939705.post-84907264460237310172012-06-02T12:15:22.371-04:002012-06-02T12:15:22.371-04:00Noted your comments at LinkedIn and thought I'...Noted your comments at LinkedIn and thought I'd check out your blog. Rather sparsely posted, but good content.<br /><br />And yes I can related to most of what you're saying here about being a writer. I've always been rather different and have gotten used to it.

Isn't it nice to hang out with other crazies? Actually, I would prefer the term "creative" or "full of ideas". haha. I used to think I was the only one that does the things I do because of writing. Hm...I think that last sentence needs an edit, but you know what I mean, right? <br />Anyway...Last week I wrote about the life of a writer on Laptops and Lingerie blog. It is more about the way the general public reactions to my antics. It's all true. haha. <br />I hope to hear from you again. I'll be posting about a real life dream I had--that led into a full-length novel. Yeah, seeing you stayed up three days straight writing...you will relate. ha!<br />BTW my nickname is Summer. (Sunni...Summer...sounds like we truly think alike.) :) Okay, I rambled enough. I think it's the caffeine<br /> I ingested.Jeannie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00450618358681616482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392133596903939705.post-5629625193486962322012-06-01T09:52:35.985-04:002012-06-01T09:52:35.985-04:00Oh my,

But I know how it is to feel what you want to incorporate into writing. I once took a fencing class just so I knew what it was like to wield a sword for a scene I wanted to write.<br /><br />And yes I can totally relate to forgetting to go to bed because you're so busy writing. I've stayed up three days in a row on several occasions.<br /><br />And I always have a numb butt and realize I have to pee so bad. That made me smile.<br /><br />When I had my emergency surgery last year, that fit as well, although I'd never wish surgery on anybody.<br /><br />My dreams are too wild to even go into it. Other people think I live in a fantasy world and my husband and friends sure don't understand me. It's nice to know there are other crazies like me out there.<br /><br />I loved your post.<br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392133596903939705.post-12916784654177644052012-03-11T14:16:35.697-04:002012-03-11T14:16:35.697-04:00Hello "twin" !

When I was in the hospital I was going through writing withdrawal. If it hadn't been for a great writer friend finally writing a few things down for me I would've gone nuts--well nuttier. <br />(You know how it is. You gotta hurry up and jot it down or GASP you'll forget that great idea for the next novel!)<br /><br />Get better, Serenity.

There is a...I relate to most of what you said, J.M. There is a certain isolation I experience as a writer/author. It's an isolation of my own making, but it still affects me. Sometimes I find the world of my characters so intriguing that I have to remind myself to live in MY present moment, and take a step away from my characters' worlds and minds. It so easy to get sucked into your characters. And yes, daily routines sometimes get neglected in the process. When I've completed a story, suddenly I come back to the world, my world, take a deep breath and realize all the things I need to tend to that are right in front of me instead of in a document.Milana Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718976809726920121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392133596903939705.post-63195774541611694672012-03-05T02:14:58.020-05:002012-03-05T02:14:58.020-05:00HA DITTOHA DITTODrea Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783595619911533980noreply@blogger.com
