From Vin:
Waking up, day in and day, out… as my eyes open upon what light shines on or though, my mind mentally jots down ideas. Driving home and surveying how the moonlight shines on God’s green earth or the creation of human technology, my eyes take note. However, when i sit in front of a blank canvas, my mental notes start caving in.

From Anna:
One of my biggest problems I seem to stumble across day in and day out is having absolutely NO idea what i’m doing. In all honesty, I woke up one day and said “You know what, I feel like writing down all these stupid scenarios that keep playing in my head, and that damn pesky dream that keeps showing up every night”.
I never really thought much about writing, till I got into reading, which didn’t really start till I was long out of school.

From Sara:
I sometimes wonder if the only way I’ll ever be able to finish a writing project would be to maroon myself on Gilligan’s Isle, with nothing more than a pencil and a pad of paper…

Going to try a new routine with the toddler, which of course means that the babe has to deal with it, too. 
The plan is to try to keep the errands and chores to the morning (since most appts would be scheduled then, and I’m a morning person). Afternoon is for play time!
So far, today’s errands were done around an outing to a local playgroup – I wanted Tim to experience the gym time at the group (Mondays and Thursdays only), otherwise I could have done normal errands and saved the group for tomorrow.
After lunch, we played out in the yard and then goofed off inside. (Airplane rides and silly chasing games.) Now we’ve found all of Mr. Potatohead’s parts and I’m sneaking in computer time as Tim experiments with different places Mr. P might want to wear his glasses. (Like Tim’s face, which doesn’t seem particularly useful.)
I know that it will take time for Tim to anticipate this new routine, but I’m hopeful that we’ll both get a lot out of it. I may even be able to fit exercise videos into the afternoon if Tim finds it fun to watch/participate.
From Claudia:
If you think of yourself as a writer, no time is ever wasted. Seriously. Consider any thing you do, it can all be filed as either research, inspiration, practice, or studying.
If you go for a walk, you clear your head to let the new ideas come in.
If you read any book, you study plotlines, styles, character design, descriptions…
