I've been on an earl grey kick for a few years. It was Chai before that. I think I'm sliding toward matcha green as my next. And driving is always the ideal time to 'think-write'! If I drove any more than I do, I don't think I'd reach my destinations. I've tried recording myself as I vocalize bursts of potential scenes, but that's weird and it doesn't come out right. And German Shepards :-) Real or toy, they're still the best dog breed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-47465286395780243582017-02-14T00:19:32.361-06:002017-02-14T00:19:32.361-06:00Hemingway said to the key to great writing was not...Hemingway said to the key to great writing was not writing but RE-WRITING!
