In reply to Sarah Laurence. Hi Sarah! Thanks for your kind words about the novel. I want to say I'm surprised we have a friend in common, but really it seems like every day I get proof that this writing world is way smaller than I ever thought it could be!

It is hard to find time to write novels with social media and family needs! I’m glad you made the time, Sophfronia. Unforgivable Love is lush and beautifully written. I hadn’t realized until now that we share a friend in common. Thanks for including Sophronia in your series, Cynthia!

In reply to Jodi Paloni. Hi Jodi! David Hicks actually wrote about our writing buddy system in the latest (October) issue of Writer's Digest. It does work. We've been writing together for four years and we've produced so much work. We also cheer each other on!

In reply to KK ink. Thanks KK. The 3 essentials are my way of keeping things simple.

In reply to Terri. You're welcome Terri. And yes, as much as I like the idea of having that kind of writing practice where I produce 1,000 words a day or something like that, it's just not how I write or how my life works. But I get a lot of writing done and I finish projects so I can't complain! :-)

In reply to Sawnie Morris. Thanks Sawnie! Yes, I think it helps to plan but hold the plan lightly.

I loved reading this, hearing all about your day, Sophronia. It sounds so lovely, grounded, and productive. What thrilled me: The three things: pray/meditate, write, exercise; the Skype writing partner (it must work!); a reminder of your essay White Shirts; croissants twice in one day. Huge congratulations on your novel. I can’t wait to read it. xo

Great post. Loved the 3 essential questions at the end of the day.

I loved this. When I read about a writer’s day, I try to imagine that day being my own. Some are hard to imagine as mine, but this one was easy. At first, I was surprised by the altar and incense, but I continued to read. Despite our differences in spiritual beliefs, the goal was the same. We both pray to get our day started. Her day was just so normal. Praying/meditating, working (although from home), and exercising. And, like most of us, she still had to cram dinner in somewhere between family activities and errands. Very real. Thanks for sharing this.
