My friend Ray.

Arms a bit sore today so haven't got much left for a Blathering. DID reach my daily writing quota, though, so that's a good thing. Total thus far: 9380 words.

Instead, read this wonderful page about writing by Philip Pullman (author of His Dark Materials trilogy), which I found through Liam O'Donnell's blog.

LOVE what Pullman says about "writer's block":

"I don't believe in it. All writing is difficult. The most you can hope for is a day when it goes reasonably easily. Plumbers don't get plumber's block, and doctors don't get doctor's block; why should writers be the only profession that gives a special name to the difficulty of working, and then expects sympathy for it?"
