I was thinking about buying a tiara to wear while I'm working. A friend of mine does that and her kids/family know that she's off limits.  Right now...I try to make sure family is occupied or asleep, and I have to have gourmet coffee in my favorite mug. During the hot summer...a nice tall glass of fresh sweet tea brewed in a glass carafe on the porch. Last year I even splurged and put in fresh fruit to add a little excitement. Wonderful timing!!

Wow, great idea. You're right, too... sometimes it's too easy to see all the failings. Thanks for the reminder. :D *hugs* Awesome post!

And I love that you took the time and effort into finding out what 'we' as authors do to get our pens to paper, so to speak. It's interesting to see what gets a book written. ;) And trust me, while I slip writing in to any part of my day that isn't taken, I also take the opportunity to let things simmer. I will see my work take shape, often times like a movie while I'm preparing to go to sleep, or folding laundry. Then, on the 'in between' times I write what I saw. It keeps my brain constantly working. Thanks so much for posting. You're a great addition to the group. Harper, this is a fantastic post.
