My children always drew on the back of my rough drafts. I also used to turn them over and run them through the printer again, using them a stationery for writing to friends.

I like to look at those pictures now, front and back, to see what I was working on when my kids were small and drawing pictures of ducks with teeth and flying wolves.

have you think of printing any page you wrote ?
i’m doing this every day.
and when i print a new version of the same page, i gave the older to my son who makes drawing on it…
(in fact, i don’t print anything at this time, because my printer is broken… and the new one is not yet arrived)

and i’ve found a parade for virus, when i’m writing, i use a computer that’s never connected to internet.
so i’ve two computer on my (very little) desk… one for surfing and one for writing.

I'm sure they appreciate the extra attention you're giving them, and (just maybe) they'll leave you alone after you're done and go off somewhere to make it on their own.</p> Sometimes you just have to take the blessings you’re given.

Good luck with the characters. I’m sure they appreciate the extra attention you’re giving them, and (just maybe) they’ll leave you alone after you’re done and go off somewhere to make it on their own.
