They’re so interesting and inspiring. And I want to share them with my friends. Can I reproduce your essays on my blog since most of them don’t have access to this website.(You know, because of censorship)

It’s interesting how tempting those sidings can be, isn’t it?

They always help me to stay on the rails and pass those tempting sidings…:)

Yes, I’m a BIG believer in the merit of the crappy first draft!

Mark, your experience is shared by a great many other writers. I know Agatha Christie always said her best ideas occurred when she was washing the dishes!

Can you add more walking back into your life? Seems like a straightforward suggestion!

I have created severalcreative performing pieces over the years and my process often
occurs to me not from sitting down with pen and paper and sweating over what to write; but creative ideas have come to me when I have been doing either the dishes at home, riding the bus, driving my car, running, etc . And for me the end product is to transcribe it on paper so I will not forget it.
Mark
