I...Wow am I on a totally different planet or what? I don't write well in the summer. I'm to busy playing outside in the sunshine. My son is out of school for the summer, and there's TONS of exciting things to do here in Atlanta in the sumer time. In the winter, I don't want to go anywhere, so I sit on the couch with my snuggie, my laptop and a notebook. Then I write like crazy.shawnhttp://bellsouth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-35621382510392404682010-01-28T17:08:43.240-05:002010-01-28T17:08:43.240-05:00Thanks for weighing in, all.

My imagination just seems to perk when surrounded by such vivid colors.Reena Jacobshttp://www.reenajacobs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-38709678587801483302010-01-27T11:57:58.561-05:002010-01-27T11:57:58.561-05:00I've had SADD for years, and only had it retre...I've had SADD for years, and only had it retreat the 3 yrs we lived out on the Praires in central Canada. The weather was always high pressure, and the city we last lived in has the most sunny days in Canada. However, I take 1000units of Vitamin D starting every September and have found it really helps alleviate the worst of it. I'm not writing productive in the winter though. The only thing that keeps me going is the March 15th deadline for the Daphne! lol!Laurie Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068922193439757745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-76756892918152427402010-01-27T11:17:07.875-05:002010-01-27T11:17:07.875-05:00I have SADD as well.

I have it on my desk beside my monitor and it really does help. The weird thing is I love winter too. But when you are writing and you have stuff out there on an editor or agent's desk and you're receiving rejections in the mail and such it is hard not to let everything come crashing down on you. Try one of those lights. They may be a bit pricey but they are so worth it.<br /><br />My .02 cents,<br /><br />CherCher Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262847237025321765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-58171821307578629792010-01-27T11:03:33.854-05:002010-01-27T11:03:33.854-05:00While I too can get down in the dumps without suns...While I too can get down in the dumps without sunshine, I LOVE WINTER! When it comes to writing, I am much more productive during the long (well, here in the South, it's only a couple of months)cold days. Once Spring comes with the flowering trees and allergies, and the heat of Summer, all I want to do is veg-out. Hmm, is that why most of my stories take place in late Fall and Winter? lolCJ Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-7087644420249083102010-01-27T08:44:10.411-05:002010-01-27T08:44:10.411-05:00I agree...I don't suffer from SAD but the wint...I agree...I don't suffer from SAD but the winter months aren't conducive to my way of writing, either. It gets dark early and I just want to go to bed! Luckily we do get a lot of sun during the daylight hours - short as they might be! - so I can usually get stuff done during the day...but I'm not nearly as productive in winter as spring/summer/fall.Kristihttp://www.kristinaknightauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-81632828786207888882010-01-27T08:32:17.108-05:002010-01-27T08:32:17.108-05:00I'm sooo on board with this.

When I was young, I just hated cloudy days-- now I get so awfully sad, but at least I know what it is and knowing is half the battle, right? (thanks, G.I. Joe) I'd love to have one of those happy lights. :) I have found that even a short walk outside when it's sunny or an inside workout helps, if I can muster the stamina to do it.Autumn Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187992227902452262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-32667602097322911782010-01-26T22:03:37.020-05:002010-01-26T22:03:37.020-05:00one of my friends lives in alaska..she has the sam...one of my friends lives in alaska..she has the same problem...her dad bought her one of those lights, the special kind, and she says it helps dramatically! i'm just tired of being snowed in! my mind is the consistency of mashed potatoes!<br />=)<br /><br />carriecarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858496364738946955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-36940171334124151522010-01-26T20:26:33.010-05:002010-01-26T20:26:33.010-05:00I love to write in the Spring.

I work on old, half-done stuff during these long, cold days, and am thankful to see the sun come up just a minute or so earlier every day.<br /><br />I don't mind how warm or cold it is; I just need sunlight. The more light, the more work.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.com
