That way, I'd be certain to finish within 10 minutes and wouldn't want to continue.Walt Mussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252729944233200374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410666287529268207.post-30846533475074790092010-01-09T07:32:28.596-06:002010-01-09T07:32:28.596-06:00Hi Walt- Sorry I'm late to the party.

I'm a little obsessive--one of the reasons I no longer play sudoko. It would give me a really good excuse to try again though, I'd love to quickly get my brain in gear first thing in the morning.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410666287529268207.post-26765275597094211232010-01-08T16:43:29.184-06:002010-01-08T16:43:29.184-06:00Kit, I used to use it to unwind, too.

However, the fact that it gets me to focus was why I started using sudoku this way.Walt Mussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252729944233200374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410666287529268207.post-55130728438823415012010-01-08T16:41:35.546-06:002010-01-08T16:41:35.546-06:00Diane, I'm new to using a dream log.

Sometimes, I have trouble reading what I wrote in the middle of the night. However, I did add my first scene recently to my current WIP from a dream log.Walt Mussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252729944233200374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410666287529268207.post-48257953452612594252010-01-08T15:58:51.684-06:002010-01-08T15:58:51.684-06:00My husband LOVES Sudoku.

I can't think of a creativity-inducing game either, but I'm a firm believer in what you called a dream log. I often wake up in the middle of the night and scribble a terrific line of dialogue or a scene idea on the pad of paper on my nightstand. Of course, the challenge is being able to read the next morning what I've written half asleep in the dark.Diane Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000110555204777912noreply@blogger.com
