Thank God for Alan Bennett...

In an interview with Mark Lawson he said 'if you talk about what you're writing, while your writing it, it sucks the steam out of it.  That's true to because now I have to rewrite 5000 words because I talked about it and pulled the guts out of the pace...argh...bugger.

So here I am sitting in bed, heater on as its freezing and feeling like a failure.  I've written nothing all morning.   Alan Bennett quoted Auden saying, 'Writers spend most of their time not writing....' he said that's true 'You come to the end of a day and you're weary with it, and you haven't actually done anything...'

Then I thought, 'writers block is the bits in between writing that gives you enough time to make a cup of tea.'

...I feel so much better...


Olivia in bed freezing...2nd day of spring my arse!
