It is sloooow going today. I have written about 2 book pages. And I just want to say, that it is so easy for the subconscious to lead me away from the important work at hand, e.g. writing. I mean, I can sit down to write (or before I even get there) and my mind will dictate to me all the other things I should be doing. And when, say, cleaning the toilets has more pull in my mind than writing the book, I've got a problem. So, one of my challenges is just sitting down and doing it.

True, it was a lot easier when I wasn't working and when the book was new and fresh and there was so much to write. Now, I'm at the point in this draft where I have to stop and figure things out, analyze the situation, the timing, etc., etc. and blah...blah...blah! I'm in a tougher place in my writing than I was previously. So, I continually re-direct myself to the computer keyboard and stop myself from listening to every little wayward thought that says "vacuum the carpet." :)

Actually, this recent writing journey began a week ago today. Since then I have written 14 book pages for "The Attic," one poem (the one I posted yesterday) and added some ideas to another book I'm writing, which is on the back burner. I have written something every day, except Wednesday. And also created and posted on this new writing blog. So, though I haven't been prolific, by any means, I have been writing every day and creating a writing routine/practice which is what I hoped to do. Yay, I'm on the way. XO
