Lack of sleep is probably one of the harder things an author goes through. I spent years working more and sleeping less, but the Lord doesn't let me get away with it any more - especially since I certainly didn't give Him enough time! Now I am a happy reader instead! jeaniedannheim@ymail.comMama Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223566907992426009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-91012364491250646532016-07-23T19:17:35.046-07:002016-07-23T19:17:35.046-07:00Mary, I am amazed by ALL that is necessary in writ...Mary, I am amazed by ALL that is necessary in writing a book.

I stay up late to be with my husband as he works late hours, thats when I usually read and I sleep very little due to my health issues.

I am the primary caregiver for my 2 year old granddaughter and evening was the time I could check my email and read my favorite blogs. (Suspense Sisters included!) I read that using a computer or smart phone could cause sleeplessness so I am trying to curtail my use before bedtime. The plus side of those sleepless nights was that I had time to read!<br />Mary, thanks for all of the reading enjoyment that you provide! <br />Connie<br />cps1950(at)gmail(dot)comConnie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.com
