How about dictating your books to your kids to write down for you? :)DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-49937517578370985172010-12-06T16:28:08.425-08:002010-12-06T16:28:08.425-08:00Exactly, Jennifer, slacking off was fun for about ...Exactly, Jennifer, slacking off was fun for about four days. And Car and Andrea, I know you're right about getting other stuff done so I have more time to write later. You must be right since it sounds like something I'd tell my kids!Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-39530706047672851662010-12-06T15:18:28.520-08:002010-12-06T15:18:28.520-08:00How do I cope?

For me, I found just letting it go was the best thing. Say to yourself "This is out of my control; there's nothing I can do but it'll pass." And then go focus on something - anything else. If YA and adult books aren't interesting you, read magazines. Or watch a bunch of movies or game shows. Clean a closet or whatever. Maybe accomplishing *something* will help. Hang in there!Carmella Van Vleethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986145304172231832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-89950604064809226592010-12-06T08:46:12.206-08:002010-12-06T08:46:12.206-08:00Kate, I always feel grumpy and frustrated when I c...Kate, I always feel grumpy and frustrated when I can't write. But I've never been able to physically not use my hands to write. That would drive me crazy! Probably I'd try to think of what I can do to make someone else's life nicer, like send some baking to neighbour. Or sort out some junk so that when I do have time to write, I'll have a place to do it!Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.com
