Life and stress play havoc with writing goals and sadly, I’m
not immune.
But in the way you can never
know what will inspire, there’s this.
I’ve
had a temporary change in routine.
On Fridays now, I find myself in a place with no computer, lots of time and a
notebook.
Before leaving home, I print
out the last pages I’ve written, and once I arrive in my destination, I sit and
write the next scene longhand.
Somehow,
hand-to-pen-to-paper connects me to the piece, and words flow.
In my not so perfect world, I want to average
five-hundred words a day on my manuscript.
I’m not sure I’d be close except for those blue ink pages, white-lined
paper dotted with with scratch outs, my black, spiral bound notebook taking me places I’m struggling to see.
