Am finally getting around to reading Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft which was  mentioned in several of the writing courses I took. I appreciated reading that King went through “periods of idleness followed by periods of workaholic frenzy.” It actually made me feel better to read that someone as prolific a writer as King goes through spells of inactivity. If I’m not writing or doing something “productive”, I’m often plagued by guilt.

I read two interesting pieces about writing and writers today worth passing along:

• “Really, how do writers spend their day?” Iain Reid, Globe and Mail
• “Six ways to be a more productive writer,”  bottledworder.wordpress.com
