Keep Working!
I am soooo tired! I got back from RT just a smidge under a week ago and I’m only just now beginning to catch up with my life again. Part of me is inspired, after all, how can anyone not be after spending a week around so many other creative people? I usually get ideas for stories when I visit other places and this time is no different although for me, it’s all about the Pennsylvania Turnpike (and dude, I’m telling you, I’m totally scarred by any stretch of road where you CAN’T GET OFF!)
Anyway, I have a book due on May 15 and I’d hoped to finish before I left for RT. But my parents were here. I wanted to write, I did, but I spent more time packing and getting ready for RT and making sure everyone was set for me to be gone eight days than writing. And then I didn’t get a darned thing written while in Pittsburgh so now I’m about ten days behind schedule.
It’s not always 3K a day for me without any effort. This book has been hard to write. I’ve been pulled in several directions and I’ve wanted to focus on three other things and I’ve had to set it down to revise and edit other things but when I picked it up when I got home, I realized it’s way better than I’d thought. So I’m still working like the little engine that could because it’s not a maybe line, it’s a deadline and I do love this world a lot.
Some days it’s shiny to write, some days it’s just a job. But it’s all good - because in the end, when I finish, I feel like I could move mountains - even if it’s just for a few hours until I need to work on something else, LOL.
Keep working! Every word you get down is one that wasn’t there before.
