Thanks for that. I have been thinking a lot about my bucket filling, and having a friend stay for four days this week I made a point of not getting up early and getting stuck into writing before she woke up but letting myself just really enjoy the time: walks, meals in and out, long chats over coffee. Feel much more refreshed now and ready to get stuck in again. Feel a facial coming on too...Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226519022337690529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-29987629653293411992009-08-26T15:58:34.630+01:002009-08-26T15:58:34.630+01:00you guys have a good thingyou guys have a good thingWilliam Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607578747397933031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-82839689967725689702009-08-26T15:28:53.862+01:002009-08-26T15:28:53.862+01:00Ah.

Glad to see you posting this. It's ...Hi Susie,<br /><br />Glad to see you posting this. It's hard to get going when you're in limbo on another book, so all this well-filling (lovely terminology) is perfect until it's time to write again. Ages ago I posted about Richard Long, the artist who has made filling his well a way of life, and now earns a fortune from doing so too. It does seem that the kinder we are to our writerly selves, the more productive we become.<br /><br />Yesterday after writing for five hours in the library I turned down an invitation to go to a free pottery class at the library which was starting just as I'd finished, but I felt too guilty to fritter time like that so said no and went off to buy kids' school supplies. But having read your post, I've just said yes to a party invite and am off for a one hour walk up to Hampton Court Palace later...Susannah Rickardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533371458667245083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-75775537196290441902009-08-25T18:36:14.255+01:002009-08-25T18:36:14.255+01:00Thanks Derek - I count you among that number!

And I go for a walk, which seems to move feelings though and open out some space for something new. Nature always fills me.

If I know the family are coming and my time won't be my own for a while, I become obsessed with spending every spare moment at my laptop.<br />But I never have a day when I don't write. I get very twitchy and grumpy otherwise.Paula Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-74214611396652448442009-08-25T09:35:50.572+01:002009-08-25T09:35:50.572+01:00Lovely post, Susie.

And it made me happy to think of that song.
