I have a lot of writer friends that sew, knit, and crochet. It must work!! :) <br /><br />MarcieMarcie Flinchum Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253511592239628178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-51069281149178838952013-03-31T23:24:18.644-04:002013-03-31T23:24:18.644-04:00Hi Marcie, ditto on using extra waiting time, doin...Hi Marcie, ditto on using extra waiting time, doing dishes, showering, etc. for writing and formulating ideas.
