Out recharging with my critique group (but not a real break). Here’s something I struggle with. The next day, though, after I’ve awakened at the same time, I’m drawn back to my computer to clean out my inbox and deal with other neglected tasks, and suddenly I’m sucked back into writing, faster than you can insert a semi-colon. Paul, who’s also an artist, wil...
