Good golly miss molly! It has been a hell of a couple months and I am MORE than happy to have something that resembles a life again.
The past two months solid my husband and I have been:
1. Packing and organizing every little thing we have ever accumulated in our five years together
2. Renovating our new, down-sized apartment (it's coming along...hopefully soon I will no longer have a bed
in my living room. *fingers crossed* : P)
3. TRYING to get back into a good writing routine. You see, I have fallen off the wagon and I'm trying to get my leg back up so I can pull myself out of this rut. I have been re-reading my novel, going over my storyboard, going over my editing notes so that I can connect with my novel again. I want to have that endless stream of thought that begs to be written. I need the rush when the story clicks and the words pour out so fast I have to make tiny, scribbled notes everywhere just to keep up.
As I write I keep reminding myself of what other writers have told me when they get like this. One of my favorites being that in order to write a novel, you have to be willing to write a first draft.
Just write it.
Who cares whether or not you think it's crap-you were able to get your thoughts on paper and now you have a jumping off point to make it perfect... It makes me feel better anyways. : )
