Not an expert, as I am still struggling through my first book. My poetry helps me fill the gaps that arise from time to time.<br /><br />Congrats on your finishing the manuscript and hoping you the very best!<br /><br />And the best of the season to you and yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517309195472334692.post-24170894871103471832011-12-23T15:06:35.230-05:002011-12-23T15:06:35.230-05:00@ michael

I'm also not so secretly jealous of those writers who write book after book, sometimes several books at once. makes me want to take a nap!

Now I've got another finished and it's been edited once. I'm not going to look at it again until spring. I'm sick of looking at it.<br /><br />Am I going to write anything between then and now aside from blog posts? I don't know. But right now it isn't likely. I never write unless I'm in the mood and frequently, I burn out.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
