However, life is never dull.

My routine is non-existent at the moment and I'm not even moving house.

I have to say that I am very happy now to have stayed put in the one home the past 11 years and do NOT WANT TO MOVE EVERY AGAIN! :) <br /><br />All the best in your move. May God continue to bless you and use you in the next place and next season of life. Thank you for the reminder of developing a discipline of writing. Discipline is something I struggle with. So a great reminder as I make plans for a brand new year.<br />Blessings,<br />AnushaAnusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-19337542975778931062011-12-19T12:09:39.504+10:002011-12-19T12:09:39.504+10:00I cannot even contemplate the activity required fo...I cannot even contemplate the activity required for moving. We always say we'd have trouble because we have far too much stuff these days. I'm not surprised that you are looking forward to the security of routine, Paul.

I have persevered with living in a caravan, travelling this wonderful country of ours promoting African Hearts and writing two others this year. It has taken me much more discipline to sit and work at my computer than usual. Too many distractions. At last the end is in sight. The end of January will see me settled into our new home and then it's full focus on my writing. All the best for your move south.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-76572368564618639442011-12-19T09:50:01.763+10:002011-12-19T09:50:01.763+10:00Hi Paul,

Sometimes, I feel, the sort of drudgy, donkey-work writing you refer to does stimulate the 'inspired' type.

I just do it when I have to eg deadline looming, or have time to do it - the hardest part is applying bottom to chair.
