This too reminds me of a piece I read in the current issue of Poet and Writers Magazine...the author argues that it isn't talent that makes a writer but rather "perseverance of spirit." Your dedication to your writing in the early morning hours exemplifies just that! Abrazos.

So whatever can keep us writing is worth it. I love your idea of rocks in a glass jar. What a great visual reminder. It's funny you say that because I have rocks and pebbles from all my travels on my writing desk, including those I got at Ghost Ranch. Thank you for reading my blog.

I love teaching , but it is always so demanding . I always start off with a writing routine, but as the workload increases it gets harder and harder to keep up with the creative writing . What I do is use rocks/stones as visual reminders. For every day I write, I put a rock in a glass jar. My dream is to one day be surrounded by these rocks and use them to build something in a garden. The rocks help, but I still struggle with daily writing. I'm gonna try your method for a month and see if I can keep it up beyond that.

And I know, all I need to do is figure out the timing.

Being busy with work you love feeds creative energy. That's been my experience. Thanks for a great post, and thanks for linking to my website. It's been fun to swap notes with you on writing process and life.
