Write these when you wish. {Your friend Neil does. ;-}

Hmm, most candied ginger are crystallized with white sugar.

Orange smoosh will be tried.

Would woolgathering women wax on when whimsy beckoned,

Their aphoristic aperçus were welcome and worth mention.

Yes! I would love to hear about your writing process/progress. As a bonus, we, your subscribers, would also be your lucky guests who get to share in the inspiration of your surroundings--able to go to different places through your writing and perspective. Fun stuff. Thank you.

Whimsical sounds like a perfect schedule, not stressy by generous. Love to hear about your writing practice and bursts of focus which sound so very familiar to the ways I work! Yes of course you must bring Delia along when you run away from ItAll. Happy Orange Smoosh week to you both!

Yes please. I love hearing about other people's writing practice. And I think I can handle the envy of your retreats.

1) Frequency: once a month or more (as your whimsy takes you.) 2) Of course many of us would love to hear about the process of redefining/refining your writing process.

You should go with whimsy! As to frequency: once or twice a month?

As to frequency, a balance betwixt your urge to write and my wondering where you went.

How you came to ‘binge’ writing? Write on please.

So in favor of avoiding large groups of people and writing when the time is ripe—most excellent advice.

I am all for the Random Whimsy model of publication. I myself struggle with a writing schedule (and had a grand old time skipping Thanksgiving a few years ago for a writing retreat) so I'd love to hear more about your process.
