I'd guess no, because I started the novel before I started getting up early. But they did happen <em>around</em> the same time, so maybe you're on to something. Interesting if it is because of that. The whole thing has certainly been a process of surrender, whereas previous books have been an exercise in Will. That is, willing myself to sit down, write pages...there was a feeling of force and drive that I don't have with this one. Oh, this is all probably Too Much Information. I think if I saw that bumper sticker, I would spit-take whatever I was drinking, right out my nose. And then have a severe attack of Cynicism. Hm, I don’t know.

Do you think it's possible that your process changed, in part, because of your new morning writing regime? Perhaps your morning brain doesn't work quite the same as your late-night brain? Just a thought. Meanwhile, I've a new bumper sticker, courtesy of you: Make Every Day a Rainbows & Bunnies Day! :) Congratulations, Maya!
