My Favorite Places: Zion National Park
There are so many different kinds of writing and so many ways to work that the only rule is this: do what works. Almost everything has been tried and found to succeed for somebody. The methods, even the ideas of successful writers contradict each other in a most heartening way, and the only element I find common to all successful writers is persistence-an overwhelming determination to succeed.” – Sophy Murnham.

NaNo goal of 2,000 words met, physical therapy appointment kept, drive from my daughter’s homein Dallas to my son’s place in Harker Heights accomplished, segments of my novel written out in my head as I drove, hugs and kisses from my autistic granddaughter, yummy liver with onions and bacon, rice and gravy and green pea dinner with family, ice cream sandwich for dessert, Survivor show watched with my son, and now I’m writing and posting my blog post.
I’m pooped but happy.
Sounds kinda like my last two days – only it was weeding, cleaning, cooking, crocheting Christmas hats, and now I’ve finished “zentangling” my Thanksgiving day cards. I love it when I have that sense of accomplishment!! Back to “real” work tomorrow!
Great post thanks. I really enjoyed it very much.
Love writing? We would love for you to join us!

Pat, at least you are happy! Zion was my first solo photo tour with a brand new 35mm at the time. Gotto go back someday! Congrads on your writing. I have left a space on my bookshelf for your novel. 🙂
Thanks for the confidence, and I will try not to disappoint that space. Zion is truly my very special place. I visited it every year when I lived in Utah, and six times already since I retired in 2004.
The Zion pics are wonderful!
Pat, I hate the news about your computer. Mine did the same thing mid-Nano!
I nearly had a nervous breakdown about NaNo when that happened.
What I now do if I’m in the middle of editing a newsletter or working on an assignment is pull it off to a flash drive–just in case.
