Today, I am a Writer!

Ok, super quick:
Today, I took the day off from work - because I could - and was hoping that I could get some respectable writing done. I was a little concerned about this because I'm at this really tough part of the story. See, it's taken an unexpected turn and I didn't know how the heck I was going to take it from there. All of the plans I had made for my characters were now pushed off the table. Something new was going to have to happen, something different and I had no idea what that was supposed to be.

So, after the family went off to work and school, I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down to do my Morning Pages. The temptation to bitch and moan was really strong, but instead I posed the question that was on my mind: "How am I going to move my story forward?"

And then it happened.

The answer came, it made perfect sense and I was excited again. Pieces were coming together, links attached, things made sense. Hallelujah Sister! Amen and Shazbot! I knew where I was going.

For the next several hours, I sat at the table. I wrote through breakfast, wrote some more, transferred to the kitchen counter and wrote through lunch. It wasn't until 2:00 that I realized I hadn't brushed my teeth, let alone take a shower.

I've picked at it a bit since then, but it's time to set it aside and get some dinner. Time to sit with my husband, enjoying a meal and a Redbox.

Thank you Morning Pages for the inspiration! It was a Writer's Day!
