I agree with you 100% about winter, though. It is a charmed time to write. My favorite way: in the afternoon with snow swirling down and a beeswax candle burning. <br />Lindsay (southwestern Pennsylvania)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-8468742025925070742009-12-02T07:46:37.441-06:002009-12-02T07:46:37.441-06:00That's a good way to look at winter, I'll ...That's a good way to look at winter, I'll have to try some winter morning writing sessions. We have plenty of dark mornings here in Rochester NY this time of year. Not quite as much snow as when I lived in the Buffalo area (halfway between ski-country and the city).Claire Govertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186520237984343706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-46521984198730049912009-12-02T07:44:57.417-06:002009-12-02T07:44:57.417-06:00Wow.

I love the early morning hours for writing, too. <br /><br />I am now thinking that maybe the busy-ness of the season is part of my problem with having writing time lately. If that's true, then it will pass and things will return to normal. <br /><br />My favorite beverage for cold mornings is coffee -- rich, hot, with soy milk.Cassandra Frearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564236561567663914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-77571855594982515582009-12-02T07:37:25.940-06:002009-12-02T07:37:25.940-06:00I'm more of a Fall person myself.

Walks through showers of leaves.<br /><br />Also am a morning person and happiest with cup of first coffee and reading material.<br /><br />Your post inspires. It's the writing that should happen first!<br /><br />Will try. Though diet coke is too cold for me in a.m. :)Marisa Birnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945909737147497606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-41637705485070302272009-12-01T18:23:16.403-06:002009-12-01T18:23:16.403-06:00Creativity knows no time, limit, or reason.
