I love all these comments and perspectives. Karen Hoover,
how interesting that you grew up in a tailor shop. I can see
a book there. I hope you're recovering well. Elaine Fisher,
I agree about keeping the brain active with a variety of
projects. Vicki Hancock, we love readers! I do believe
everyone has a measure of creativity in one way or another.

G. Bisbjerg, great idea to turn off the phone. Susan
Patterson, I agree. If I'm stumped, I take a break and come
back to it later. Patricia Barraclough, I wish you speedy
healing from your injuries so you can work in your garden
again.

I love all these comments and perspectives. Bonnie Franks,
what a good idea to use the record feature on your phone. I'll
try that. Pam Howell, you're so right about just "doing."
Barbara Ryan, wise words. Jackie Wisherd, let me know if you
have a link to images of your paintings and quilts!

Marissa, that's a great idea. I keep my first drafts to myself
as well, per Stephen King's advice in his wonderful book, On
Writing.

Peggy, thank you for your kind words. I know what you mean
about hitting roadblocks. Creativity does seem to ebb and
flow, and I trust your knitting will be back in the flow soon.
You're wonderful for giving your creations to people in need,
and clearly you are hugely talented as a writer as well!
