Different kind of productive

So you may have noticed that I haven't been posting in quite a while. And this right after I was all geeked up for getting some writing mojo going...but I do have a good reason--I'm going to have another baby!

Due in November, and so thankful and happy that this has come to be.

However, my energy has been zapped by all this interior knitting, and I haven't had the momentum or time (because frankly, I'd rather sleep these days when possible!) to do any writing. And I mean ANY writing! Well, aside from grocery lists...

So, I'm accepting the fact that I may be unfocused as a writer in the coming year, but not giving up. I'm trying to do a little bit of writing every month, and helping a friend with her revisions on her book, and continuing to go to my writers' group, even if I have nothing to share.

We'll see how well this low-self-pressure deal works for me. I promise to keep you posted! Till then, thank you for bothering to keep following my posts!

Day 3 and going strong!

Well, OK, it IS just the 3rd day of my new writing life, but darnit, it feels good! That 10 minutes is so small, but that's what makes it doable. I did my writing last night before bed. I did it on the 1st in the middle of the day during my son's nap time. Today I had a half day of work and so spent considerably longer at it, lavishing in my new writing netbook that my dear hubby got me for Christmas, God bless him!

I'm noticing something already though--by this 3rd day, my pen (or fingers, depending on the media) is flowing better each day.

At this point, I'm not forcing myself to write solely fiction--but also allowing for more journal-type writing. The point is to get writing and get in the habit!

The juices are flowing and my brain found a good link in my WIP that wasn't clear earlier, so that's a nice bonus of this new focus, too.

Happy New Year to you, and I hope you meet your own goals too!
