Quiet is good
I have been rather quiet on here, but that is actually a good thing. You see, I have been getting some writing done – in among all the frazzled and hectic stuff that is otherwise yanking me this way and that to keep me from updating my websites.
I am currently at near completion of the rough draft of a novel I started last week (Go me!) and have more importantly figured out from that why it is that I am having so much difficulty finishing some I have worked myself into a corner on.
I had thought, going into the novels, that I knew exactly what was happening in them. Then I got to writing them and it went off in unexpected directions and I wrote myself to a complete standstill. My current project (one of them at least) has flowed smoother than anything has in a very long time and I have found myself enjoying the process of creating a story.
It’s nice to enjoy writing so much once again that I can not wait for a few minutes to sit down and work. I’ve always had an addiction to writing, but there are times when it is work to feed that addiction. When each word was a struggle to get onto the page/screen. I much prefer to have the words flow smoothly and to be able to go back and make minor corrections, flesh things out some, and have a good first draft from a reasonably good rough draft.
