Jim,
Daydreaming is indeed part of the writin...Fr. Jim,<br /><br />Daydreaming is indeed part of the writing process, similar to staring at the backed up drain and thinking about the causes, if that's not extending the analogy too far. However, when you spend all your time dreaming and not doing anything about it, that can lead to trouble. And sometimes, daydreaming doesn't help, and you just need to write. It's the equivalent of applying Drano to a clogged drain.<br /><br />And now that analogy has gone where none have gone before.<br /><br />Anarchist, thanks for pointing that out. I changed some things on the website, and the contact image got lost. I'll fix that this weekend. Alas, I don't read dark fiction. I creep out way too easily.<br /><br />However, I have two suggestions for you: One, go to http://www.karinafabian.com/index.php?name=Content&pid=28, which is where I have a list of review sites. Bet you'll find some reviewers there. Also, my friend, Tim Marquiz, is calling for submissions for a dark fantasy/horror anthology; check it out at http://tmarquitz.com/blog/?p=658.Karina Fabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937791512486438983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-52451424240132880102012-01-16T07:19:47.673-07:002012-01-16T07:19:47.673-07:00My grandfather was a plumber.

I know from working with him and his workers that plumbers would be in big trouble if they started daydreaming. <br /><br />Yet daydreaming is a valid part of fiction writing. <br /><br />On the other hand, one can learn something about tenacity in writing from plumbers. When I was a daydreaming kid, told to sweep grandpa's garage, I would lazily dust the broom over the concrete surface, not knowing or caring whether I did anything productive with it. My grandpa would come along and show me that "you have to get mad at it," meaning, put a little vigor in the action. He demonstrated by taking the broom and attacking the floor with it. <br /><br />Kudos, grandpa. I learned something about writing from a dedicated plumber.<br /><br />Fr.
