I always feel behind!<BR/><BR/>One of my favourite ww2 fiction stories is Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer. I loved how the war was a backdrop, but the story was really about the two people. <BR/><BR/>And "I heart book gossip" - The best time for me to write is in the morning. Although I am getting better at writing at night if I have to. The one thing I need though is quiet. I like to be alone. So I don't usually write much on weekends, I spend time with my family. But during the week, especially during the school year, it is lovely and quiet in the house and I settle in, sometimes with music, sometimes without.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for saying my work is detailed and in depth! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-78823628518043761202009-01-21T20:33:00.000-08:002009-01-21T20:33:00.000-08:00world war 2 from a canadian perspective sounds int...world war 2 from a canadian perspective sounds interesting! :)valerie2350https://www.blogger.com/profile/11898675500496055920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-81853350592832090632009-01-21T10:58:00.000-08:002009-01-21T10:58:00.000-08:00Hi Donna,I enjoyed reading about all the different...Hi Donna,<BR/>I enjoyed reading about all the different genres you reference while writing....makes sense!<BR/>Thank you for sharing such a nice post and here's to no moves in 2009! ; )<BR/>Darby<BR/>darbyscloset at yahoo dot comdarbysclosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307627314923598305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-40204386521041100082009-01-21T09:17:00.000-08:002009-01-21T09:17:00.000-08:00I love that you are reading Little Women with your...I love that you are reading Little Women with your girls.

That to me is a sign of a great book - the ability to get lost in the reading and not resurface until the book is finished.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746317916269177679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-1436914934395046662009-01-21T04:59:00.000-08:002009-01-21T04:59:00.000-08:00Thank you for the post Donna (and Amy).

You have a wonderful job, I'm a little bit jealous (just a little tiny bit), you get to read books and get paid for it.<BR/>I like when you said that you immerse yourself so in the era the book is written about (WWII at the moment). Isn't that the greatest part of reading, to just plunge in to the book and not resurface until it's over!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127042690689033583noreply@blogger.com
