No matter how full her day, even if she was dead tired, she squeezed in five minutes before bed time. What happened, though, was that those five minutes often stretched into 10, 15 or 30.Mark Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746027017657987261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-81529609646101388402012-01-01T12:12:01.530-06:002012-01-01T12:12:01.530-06:00You're right, Morgan.

For now, example, I'm doing a Blog Book Tour, also have some books to put on CreateSpace. When I write, I like to stay very focused on what I'm writing. Maybe because I'm older, maybe because of technology, my mind flits around a lot. I have to really apply myself and actually think when I write.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-55077444436142640172012-01-01T08:35:27.612-06:002012-01-01T08:35:27.612-06:00Very wise post.
