The only trouble I have with writing is not enough time! I work full time, sometimes more. If I could ever sell any of my books and actually make money, I don’t think I’ d ever go to the mailbox again. I could be perfectly content right here in my own little world!

Knowing about lots of different things is the best! I know the most useless information there’s ever been. I call it brain lint. :)

Like I said, WHY is my favorite word! LOL

Brain lint, that must be all those things that we don’t remember, until we do not need them.

I am waiting for the day they can plug in the brain and download it to the computer and put it in files so we can find it.

It has always amazed me, the amount of knowledge a writer must have.

Some of my best writing, was letting myself go to the creative side of the brain and string brain lint into a story.

How many people know that donkey’s were fed sour dough pancakes by the prospectors?

Years later when I bought a couple horses, on Sunday, when I always baked sourdough biscuits, I would go out and share one with the appaloosa and he wanted to drink out of my coffee mug too.

Do not wait until you retire to go back to writing, I did and then couldn’t and still cannot and will not.

All the learning was for some purpose, but not a book.
