I'm sure I'll do a bit of writing while we're in Disney; though not much since I'll probably be tired from walking through the parks.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-27407175081183366122013-05-07T12:42:57.409-07:002013-05-07T12:42:57.409-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.asimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693506432610374667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-34071368701500821562013-05-07T12:42:40.819-07:002013-05-07T12:42:40.819-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.asimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693506432610374667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-80408940181572917422013-05-06T11:49:44.721-07:002013-05-06T11:49:44.721-07:00Do I write when away from home?

My laptop is a constant companion on every trip.<br /><br />While flying, I divide my time between writing and reading, even if my wife accompanies me.<br /><br />On vacation, I write at least three hours a day. Something I rarely accomplish at home. Business trips find me writing after dinner until bedtime.<br /><br />Year after year I enjoy two or three long distance motorcycle rides on my Ultra Classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. These jaunts last anywhere from five to twenty days. Each night I write about the day’s adventures and misadventures.<br /><br />All-in-all I write more while travelling than at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-51851267483715371372013-05-06T10:55:33.136-07:002013-05-06T10:55:33.136-07:00Doesn't matter WHERE I am as much WHEN.

My inner alarm and my muse join hands around 4:00 a.m. and they don't care whether I'm in Las Vegas (with daughter #1) or in Georgia (with daughter #2) or camped out playing cook-and-bottle-washer with aged parents. I just have to get up before they do.LLoni (L. J.

If ...On vacation, my husband and family come first. If there is down time where everyone is reading, I haul out chapters to edit. Not the laptop, but printed chapters. At conferences, I'm all about networking. I hang out like Marilyn where action happens. I make mental notes of snatches of conversation, how people dress, their accents. Anything that I might use later. When I get home, it's all work. And now it's time to get back to editing the final draft of my latest. Due to my agent in June. Yes, I'll make the deadline...Betsy Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871010122475160477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-36667349147751000902013-05-06T07:29:55.093-07:002013-05-06T07:29:55.093-07:00I live and write in the mountains in Central Calif...I live and write in the mountains in Central California, not all that far from Marilyn. But I also rent a room in an interesting house in Santa Monica which is what I write another series about.<br /><br />I get my best work done at my real home. Here the noises are unfamiliar and I'm always half listening, looking for a reason to quit and go investigate. At home there's nobody to talk to. No good excuse to quit...like now. Oh, somebody's making coffee. Must go.Mar Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378622704056377174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-84057417515533903522013-05-06T07:21:37.203-07:002013-05-06T07:21:37.203-07:00Marilyn,

And, when I'm on vacation, I may gather brochures, etc. for reference to be used in a future book, but I don't write. For me, that's what vacation is: escape from my everyday life. I avoid computers like the plague!Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.com
