I just know for me that if I have to do the same thing every day (if I'm not home and not away). Must go for walk, must write... etc. If I stop, even one day I break the cycle and I end up facebooking which is on my can not do in morning list.

Sometimes I just need to put something on hold and let it stew on the back burner for a while before I get back to it. It always helps me to look at something with fresh eyes when I'm struggling.<br /><br />Also, I never appreciated Frasier when I was younger. Now, watching it again, I see just how smart and funny it really was. And in a world where we have shows like Big Bang Theory disguising fart jokes as "smart humor" just because they throw in a few inane scientific terms, I really, really miss "smart tv."A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381261963391055840.post-89937167591329687512013-07-25T06:01:39.274-07:002013-07-25T06:01:39.274-07:00Frasier was a brilliantly written and well acted s...Frasier was a brilliantly written and well acted show. A lot of that is missing from what's on TV right now!<br /><br />I love reading memoirs- other peoples lives always seem to captivate me. But sharing the minute details of your life is a very personal decision, and one that only you can make. I'd be all in for reading it though!<br /><br />Taking some time off from my WIP has really helped me. I needed that space. Here's hoping this break will help you when it comes time to work again on yours!jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381261963391055840.post-65492904368721459022013-07-25T05:11:00.642-07:002013-07-25T05:11:00.642-07:00LOve me some Fraiser reruns too.

Frasier sure had a lot of bicycle accidents. (Unlike the car crash I was involved in today at 16:25.)<br /><br />Even the episode titles - like 'The Last Time I Saw Maris' - illustrate the comedic brilliance of the show.<br /><br />If the TV station is showing you the 'Frasier' episodes in order, then that means yesterday or today you saw the episode where Frasier begins imagining his new (girl's P.E. teacher) girlfriend to be his old high school gym teacher. TOTALLY HILARIOUS!<br /><br />If you're seeing them in order, then tomorrow or Friday you will see the episode titled 'ROE TO PERDITION' - another TOTALLY HILARIOUS one about Frasier and Niles dealing caviar like it's cocaine.<br /><br /><i>>>... Recently, a friend suggested I ditch the fiction and write a memoir. Are you kidding me?</i><br /><br />Well, if the person is a friend of yours, he/she is probably also very spiritual. And if he/she is very spiritual, they may just be giving you advice from the Throne of God. <br /><br />You should listen to him/her, and at the very least, pray about it and see what sort of answer you get. Watch your dreams for symbols that might relate to this.<br /><br />Just sayin'...<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
