My first thought was is he waking up or going to sleep? Though clearly sleep wasn't on his mind. <br /><br />A few years ago I read a book called, How to be Idle. The main premise was we are too busy to be creative. Chesterton obviously thought 'idle time' was beneficial for creativity.Susan Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673626395112361592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-45369935452275144742016-01-26T14:14:01.488+10:002016-01-26T14:14:01.488+10:00Yes, having fun.

For starters, perhaps I shall imagine I'm Leonardo Davinci and draw a few pictures of mountains and waterfalls, heaven and its glories. Perhaps a group photo of all the writers in CWD? Perhaps a picture of Buffy Greentree? :) As for brevity - the reminder is always needed. And about having fun ... thank you for that too. I shall try to make my writing journey as fun as possible this week. I admit it was becoming a wee bit heavy on my back. Thanks Buffy! :)Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.com
