There's that crazy poet who said he stood out in the rain every day just trying to get struck by lightening. Fortunately, we novelists are much saner. We just sit at our desk hoping to get struck by lightening. I do believe that those moments in the zone are great moments that come out of the everyday struggle of getting the story down.Brian Yanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338795130182877245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967308592064240861.post-71118358868552433482009-11-22T08:51:28.449-08:002009-11-22T08:51:28.449-08:00I love being here, in the zone but so many things ...I love being here, in the zone but so many things have to fall into place to get there, shame!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556806194192653074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967308592064240861.post-2249686048745974412009-11-20T08:48:56.471-08:002009-11-20T08:48:56.471-08:00Thanks, Paul.
