Whenever my writing feels a bit flat, I take the dog for a good long walk and usually come back refreshed and inspired.

Writing isn't easy, and we all have times when we feel like putting the pen down for a while.<br /><br />Happily, it looks like you're feeling creative again. A change of scene, or pastime can often do the trick, and I'm a big fan of striding out...<br /><br />Have a good weekend.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472744654755636965.post-47752844964357473042012-05-24T10:52:04.256+10:002012-05-24T10:52:04.256+10:00Hi Biddy - your prediction was quite correct.

My head was swimming and the more I pushed myself to write the more down I was getting. One short story acceptance right now would be a great boost for me.
