I relate to this dilemma so much! I want to write every day, I have all these great ideas, and I sit down and they are all dead on arrival. I fool around putting a few words on the page, delete them, put a few more, delete those, and finally I close my computer and go make another cup of tea and curl up on the couch and read.

Or, I have brilliant ideas that I keep developing in my head but life interferes with my writing time and by the time I get to the computer - *poof* - it's gone.

But writers must write, so we keep at it and eventually something wonderful - or at least pretty good - comes out onto the page and we can feel good about what we do.

The bistro food looks good, by the way!
