And what Valerie said was also true, the flip side of avoiding writing, the overwhelming sense of guilt and discontent when we're *not* writing. We writers are difficult. Pity the people who live with us. :)Erin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372798979009008131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-84790478858824610702010-12-29T11:55:36.512-05:002010-12-29T11:55:36.512-05:00Julie, thanks bunches for guest blogging.

You see, an idea for a story has grabbed me by the throat, and I am now suddenly in Paris, in the Louve, eyeball to eyeball with a terrorist. What cool worlds we writers create...no wonder we'd rather be inside our heads than struggling with day-to-day reality. Writing is truly our joy and, at times, the very air we breathe. Thanks Julie.

I've been "hiding" too, using the excuse of Christmas: traveling, having family visit me, the kids home from school, hosting, cleaning, laundry....it's easy to find distractions.
