You have a cool blog, and it's nice to meet a fellow writer about the boomer era. (I have a second volume on music and pop culture coming out later this year.) Will definitely watch for your book!

F...I find it fascinating how most writers work... For me, writing has to come "at the time" of sitting at my desk. I'm weird that way. But I also risk writer's block most of the time. I also write music, however, oddly enough, I find myself dreaming up chords and notes on my guitar and composing my music in my dreams. I then have to write that down or I'll forget. <br /><br />Thought this was very interesting! :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-60591668247562256712009-05-06T00:26:00.000-07:002009-05-06T00:26:00.000-07:00Thanks Jacob.

Three hours later you can't recall what it was. I also love those ideas that come to mind in the middle of a shower.

But there are occasions when I go back and look at those crazy ideas and a light switch comes on. I've written a couple of shorts that way.
