		<description>Well, this manuscript is a picture book, so that makes it easier to take with me. I&#039;m not sure it would work for a novel, but I think it would if you were to focus on a single scene or chapter at a time. I read it through before I went, then walked and read some more, then put it away for awhile and just thought about the problem. Voila! I suddenly had a middle where before I had a gaping hole. I&#039;m sure I looked like an idiot stopping in the middle of nowhere to scribble furiously in my little notebook, but it wouldn&#039;t be the first time I&#039;ve looked like an idiot. ;)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Angie! Not much feels better than a good writing day, that&#039;s for sure. Hope you&#039;re having much creativity and joy, too!</description>

		<description>I know what you mean, Laurie! Sometimes we need a change of scenery or routine to break through the block. I&#039;ve learned that when I try too hard to write, I can hardly write anything. I like the idea of taking my papers for a walk. I may have to try that sometime!</description>

		<description>nice interview, Laurie. Isn&#039;t Darcy fun to talk to? If folks want to learn more about Kitty&#039;s illustrations, send &#039;em over &quot;Archimedes Notebook&quot; - I posted an interview with her earlier at http://archimedesnotebook.blogspot.com/2012/03/wisdom-albatross-blog-tour.html</description>
