You’ll not be surprised to hear, after
yesterday’s post, that I ground to a halt today. I have to write an almost new
scene but I couldn’t summon up enough emotional intensity. In other words, I
didn’t care.
I’ve been going at a great lick since the
YouWriteOn reviews a month or so ago and I’ve been neglecting my Daily Pages
and my Artist’s Dates. Now I’m paying the price.
I didn’t panic and I didn’t beat myself up.
Instead of chewing the end of my pencil, I caught up with lots of little jobs
about the house, and tomorrow I might go for a wander round Exeter.
After all, the whole point of writing is to
learn how to live better. And if I don’t finish The Novel before I die, so
what?
I feel a lot happier.

......the whole point of writing is to learn how to live better....Thank you that really helps me to take the angst/pressure out of writing when I forget that it's the living and not the writing of it that really matters! x
