I, too, long for that flow state in writing. It happens to me periodically, and it keeps me hooked. I usually don't flow along; I'm a niggler, and I write slowly. And I learned later in life that I'm actually coping with ADHD, so I am easily side tracked. Funny realization for someone who taught for 25 years, eh? Good luck with your A to Z challenge this year!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-3530343525573703622015-04-01T12:21:16.258-05:002015-04-01T12:21:16.258-05:00Exactly, Andrew!Exactly, Andrew!Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-27084058504322699362015-04-01T11:57:09.484-05:002015-04-01T11:57:09.484-05:00I tell my students that all the time.
