Getting some work done on my book.

It's another dreary and cold day (by California standards) here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I watched football and chatted on the phone with friends yesterday (Sunday). The 49ers looked good. I also wrote a few more paragraphs in the book I'm working on. I will try to get that chapter done today and move on to another. I can blather away like nobody's business on MyLot. But when it comes to my book, writing can be like pulling teeth. In any case, wish me luck (skill) today!

It is hard when something requires concentration.

It's easy to talk with friends but a lot harder when we're "talking" with people we don't know and want them to understand our point of view. I'm quite sure you're doing a good job with your book.

@TheHorse For your sake, I hope so, too. Edit to add: Aren't most of those adult themed?

I'm hoping it will be a NYT best-seller.

I hope all your teeth get pulled out...without much bleeding. Note, I did not say without pain.

Why might that be? If I got straight teeth, I might turn to acting.

By California standards, it's frigid here. But by Iowa standards, it's just normal for December (30. That's -9 Centipedes).

@TheHorse -9 Centipedes. It's 30 in real degrees.

@xander6464 I thought 30 would be about -2 Centipedes.

@lovebuglena Yes, it can. Today, I am trying to be self-motivated. I HAVE written several paragraphs in/on three different chapters.

@TheHorse ahhh, the latter would be more up my alley... I rather skip over steamy bits

It's a steamy novel about sen and international intrigue...either that or a psychology book about working with difficult kids in the inner-city.

@wolfgirl569 Yeppers, I had a productive day. I get to teach music later today, but I may try to get some more work done on the book done this morning. It's good writing weather.

He is p a t h e t i c. I offered to read his book and give him my valuable suggestions. He ignored me. You are from India. Don't you think that is mean?

@vandana7 I can send you a chapter right now. My main criterion: is it engaging? I am currently working on a bunch of chapters at once.

I wish you well on your book. I find it hard sometimes to think of things to write. Why there are breaks on my posts here.

I always like to hear from Writer of book to see what motivated to write - "...... " master piece. Once you finish and publish it world wide ( if you have plans to do so ), I would like to hear it from you too

Good luck! I find when I hit a good period, I can't write or type fast enough when the juices start to flow and the ideas pop into my head. I hope that happens with you! The Cleveland Browns lost and are out of the picture for the season. It's cold here right now but will warm up to the 50s for Christmas Eve with rain.

@TheHorse I write down ideas too so that when I come up empty, I have something to do.
