New Chapter

So, my latest freelance editing job is finished, and the kids start a two-week daycamp tomorrow morning. You'd think I'd be chomping at the bit to get back to my fiction. You'd be wrong.

I have been thinking about my writing. It's on my mind almost every day. But at the end of every day, the things I want to say seem less relevant. This is a sign that either 1) I'm changing or 2) the book sucked. Likely, it's both.

So how will I spend those childless three hours a day for the next two weeks? Half of the time (the second week), I will be consumed with entertaining the in-laws. Good timing, eh? The other half, well, we shall see tomorrow morning when I plan to let my muse do with me what she will. I'll keep you posted.

That's how I started, too. Thinking. Thinking thinking thinking. Then I started writing stuff down. Then the whole thing became a habit. Now I spend most of my day in fantasyland, when I'm not being interrupted by children, of course. Enjoy! :D

PT-LM, if I ever have anything worth sharing, I will...
Christa, thanks for the support!
Joodge, glad you made it over. I was wondering when my twin would find me. Now, which one of us is the good one and which is the evil? hehe.
