Good evening, everyone!!!
I have had the best writing days in a long time the last three days. I guess it all stems from just having someone contact you who believes in your writing as much as you once believed in your writing, to get things back in motion.
I spent a solid seven hours with butt in chair yesterday prepping and working on fresh scenes. It felt like heaven on earth. Then while on break at work today, another scene came to mind and I grabbed my notepad on my phone to jot it down as not to forget about it by the time I got back to the keyboard today :)
I spent a lovely couple of hours just talking writing with my writer friend. We decided to set daily goals and check in with each other on those goals. She made a good point this afternoon, you have to live and breath your writing. A point I used to hold so close but had long forgotten.
Tonight after I got home and talked to about a hundred people on the phone or via text (Okay, not a hundred, but I did spend a few hours talking to people do to an incident in our little quiet town) I sat down, keyboard under my fingertips, and met the goal I set for myself for this evening. I'm anxious for tomorrow's goal, which will come to mind at some point in the night as I sleep, but I'm leaning toward finishing the read through and making the other changes I want to add :)
It feels so good making these small accomplishments each day. I almost feel as if I've come home again. With a refreshed spirit and pushing the mark once again. It does this body and soul good, that's for sure.
I'll be forever grateful to this author friend for contacting me out of the blue after all these years and helping me to regain my focus and remember why I started this in the first place :)
Everyone have a lovely night!!!
Blessings to all!!!
