Poster boards and elaborate timelines ...Hi, Coleen,<br />Poster boards and elaborate timelines on whiteboard never worked for me, either. "Write anyway" does, so that's my go-to strategy.<br /><br />Enjoy the Cascades Library (Virginia) Authors' Fair. I'll be there in spirit, talking up your books.

What fun for you and the puppies to meet the hermit and his dachshunds. (Meanwhile, the dachshunds must have been thrilled to get a tiny but memorable change in routine.) <br /><br />I saw a photo of the puppies on your Facebook page.

Basically elaborate forms of procrastination. :)Coleen Patrickhttp://coleenpatrick.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-21368217346908136712014-03-21T10:33:50.067-05:002014-03-21T10:33:50.067-05:00Thanks for the lovely post, Pat.

I was never afraid to walk in my rather snooty neighborhood but no one EVER spoke to me. In the last month I've met people on my walks almost daily including an ancient "hermit" we've wondered about for years. He was out walking his two elderly dachshunds and decided he needed to talk to the crazy woman with the two wild white puppies. So walks have become Adventures in New Stuff for the dogs and Meet the Neighbors for me--everyone is having a grand old time.<br /><br />I like change--just not this spring forward time change.Lark Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363455770588651569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-15793267624256254292014-03-21T09:08:09.860-05:002014-03-21T09:08:09.860-05:00I think "write anyway" is probably the b...I think "write anyway" is probably the best writing advice I've ever read. I've always used (smugly, I think) the "you can't fix a blank page" mantra, but I'm changing it now. <br /><br />Thanks, Pat!Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-59101514076919998992014-03-20T19:40:30.214-05:002014-03-20T19:40:30.214-05:00I like your attitude, Patricia/Jansen.

If I viewed every day as an adventure, I'd be a lot less cranky and a lot braver. <br /><br />Pat O'Dea Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221195882816387110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-25524528063217340562014-03-20T11:12:27.866-05:002014-03-20T11:12:27.866-05:00There is no perfect time to start but if we never ...There is no perfect time to start but if we never start we'll never finish. So my advice is to just start already.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of change, but I've tried to look at it as a new adventure every time I'm faced with it. My husband - total creature of habit - hates change. HATES it.<br /><br />Patricia Rickrode<br />w/a Jansen SchmidtPatricia Rickrode w/a Jansen Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634429564028179643noreply@blogger.com
