Today’s writing quote comes from Joy Held…
Women with clean houses do not have finished books.
Historical Romance author with Astraea Press. (My debut novel, Along the Way Home, will be available June of 2013)
Addicted to coffee, hanging with my characters late at night, and the Oxford Comma.
I post twice a week; Tuesdays are (mostly) about writing and on Fridays I feature quotes about writing. I LOVE comments and always reply. Let's get a discussion going!!

Florence,
I’m happy to announce my house is a mess, the fridge is empty, and my fingers are flying across my keyboard
A great day indeed!

Sorry for the delay in posting your comment here. Somehow it got stuck in my spam folder

This is pretty funny and yet so truthful. It’s also a big wake up call to someone like me who is constantly worried about making sure everything is clean and in order. What a great reminder this is.

T,
I vary between being hyper-vigilant and cleaning everything down to the the knobs on the stove, to being a complete slacker and not vacumming for a length of time I’m too embarassed to state publicly.
I’ve found the level of clean my house enjoys depends greatly on my happiness with my writing, and my muse.
So, I’m happy to report it’s really messy right now
Thanks so much for visiting,
Christi
