Sacrifices for Writing
I usually get up really early in the morning; I can do my exercise session in the peace and quiet and really set myself up well for the day. It’s only occasionally that I treat myself to a lie-in, and today looked to be one such day. The sun was shining through the window, I was lying there thinking about whatever came to mind, and the bed was so warm and comfortable
BUT: the thoughts going through my head were great new ideas for my current book, which has just passed 50,000 words and feels great. So, the choice; stay where I was, in lazy comfort, or get up and get those ideas into the laptop before I forgot them?
Goodbye, warm and comfortable bed, hello keyboard. I’m glad I made the right choice, but oh, the sacrifices I make for my writing.
What sacrifices do you make for yours?

Hi Diane,
You are so right; I had to do it again today, and later nude typing in the bedroom half-way through the shower! Don't go there!
But it was so worth it, and I'd do it every day if things were going as they are at present.
All the best with yours, how's it going?
Stay safe yourself and enjoy your weekend too.
Best, Laura
It is so easy to lie back in bed like I did this morning. So happy to hear others have the same problems and challenges. Got my blog post out. Still can't figure out how to link it to Goodreads.Happy writiing.

Although saying bye to a warm comfortable bed may be difficult at the time, sometimes the exhilaration of writing can outway those creature comforts.
Have a great weekend of writing and stay safe.
