And I've lists, notebooks, and scraps of paper, too, Anna. It is funny to look at them after weeks or months and wonder exactly what I was thinking or where I got the idea and why I thought it work!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-22423240529236051432016-05-19T11:57:24.655-05:002016-05-19T11:57:24.655-05:00I always read, but lately, it has been obsessive. ...I always read, but lately, it has been obsessive.

Just like you I read when I get like this. I think it's probably the body's way of saying it has to rest the mind for the next onslaught of ideas. I have lists, notebooks and hundreds of scraps of paper with ideas, so I can see why there needs to be a rest, I just don't like the period of uncreativity if that is a word.

Perhaps if I take a book by one of my favorite authors off the shelf it will nudge me on. Oh, you say DO IT!! Ok, I just did. Jeffery Archer...A Twist In The Tale. It's a collection of short stories that I have not yet read. I'll let you know!!<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-40072964765415664532016-05-16T06:33:05.813-05:002016-05-16T06:33:05.813-05:00It has been lately--colorful and cheerful!It has been lately--colorful and cheerful!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-86098554110201849132016-05-16T06:32:32.181-05:002016-05-16T06:32:32.181-05:00I'd seen several reviews of Kate Summerscale&#...I'd seen several reviews of Kate Summerscale's <i>The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher</i> (about another Victorian crime), and Martin Edwards discussed the case in <i>The Golden Age of Murder</i> because several Golden Age writers used elements of the case in their novels.

Your outgoing is terrific. I had to laugh about the Washi tape. How lazy to not just see if it would come off easily. But what a great idea for protecting the innocent. I'll be borrowing that idea. I'm surprised that you don't worry for your own privacy. It's such a scary world these days.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540499473620802526noreply@blogger.com
