I'm glad others are interested in giving ta-da lists a try; I hope they work for all of you as well as they have for me.<br /><br />To answer E.B.'s question, bento is a Japanese form of brown bag lunch only much more appealing. www.justbento.com is a fantastic resource for bento ideas and information if you are interested in learning more.Jessie Crocketthttp://www.jessiecrockett.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-33032751565498624942010-08-24T19:23:55.749-04:002010-08-24T19:23:55.749-04:00Even though I am a reluctant listmaker, and someti...Even though I am a reluctant listmaker, and sometimes a rebel list follower (i write list then gnore it) I love this concept.

Second-Your "...First-What's a bento lunch?<br />Second-Your "Ta Da" list seems like a sound technique when fit into the pacing of manuscripts. It also reminds me of my own emotions. When I first started to write, aiming for publication, I wanted it to be a fun experience. There are days when I'm working on my WIP and it is fun. Promotion, blogging and interviewing can bog down that fun, but are necessary. Perhaps my next list should focus on what I don't want to feel the majority of the day, limiting promotional activities. I'll call it my "To-Don't" list.E. B.

I usually make lists of tasks that need to be done (laundry, vacuuming, etc., etc.), then lose them before completion. I've avoided adding writing to my lists because, knowing my personality, if I feel I have to do something I'll shift into avoidance mode. I prefer to tell myself I get to write if I do some less pleasant task - in other words, I let the writing be the reward. I may try a ta-da list though. It sounds intriguing.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-58217167924364981242010-08-24T06:29:11.903-04:002010-08-24T06:29:11.903-04:00Welcome Jessie!
