Don't forget to rub his belly! Keep writing! <br /><br /><br />Rachel: Love the bit about Saint Catherine with the knife in her chest! Not that there is anything to love about a knife in one's chest, but heck, you are right - what a great metaphor for writing. But yes, you are right - at least she has great hair.<br /><br />Bonnie: Thank you for writing! Will have to find a sign like that for my own little 'office'. Yes, gotta love family. Best wishes in your continued success - hope to see you soon!<br /><br />LisaLisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/02022672900968890261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840076266780903148.post-73001270346970116402010-11-25T11:13:45.655-08:002010-11-25T11:13:45.655-08:00I have several talismans.

One is a poofy-haired longnecked bird holding a sign that says: "I live in my own little world, that's okay, they know me here."<br /><br />But then, I also have a sign over my office door that says "Out of my mind, back in five minutes" (a gift from daughter #2 - family - how would we manage to keep our egos in check without them?)<br /><br />Great post, Lisa (but then you've always been a fine writer!)<br /><br />BonnieBonnie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191962387359643936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840076266780903148.post-63506163828536745412010-11-23T11:28:42.186-08:002010-11-23T11:28:42.186-08:00I once bought a poster of an illuminated-manuscrip...I once bought a poster of an illuminated-manuscript page because it was of the letter R (my initial) and Saint Catherine was writing in a book. She also had great hair, a crown and – unfortunately I didn't notice this until I'd hung the poster – a knife sticking out of her chest. <br /><br />Turns out she's an even better metaphor for writing than I realized, except for the great hair.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675627800139471971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840076266780903148.post-82561921900566238562010-11-22T18:49:28.669-08:002010-11-22T18:49:28.669-08:00I have to have a Buddha on my desk and real flower...I have to have a Buddha on my desk and real flowers if at all possible. I'm very fussy. I have to start with a clean area - knowing at the end of the writing session it will be a mess.<br /><br />I like your long haired troll. I wonder if my Buddha would mind a partner?Jodie Eschhttp://www.jodieesch.com/jodieblog/noreply@blogger.com
