For weeks now writing anything has been like pulling teeth, every word was in doubt and every sentence took a day of re writes before I was not unhappy with it, a few times I have seriously thought about giving it up for a bit and my mum suggested that that might be the way to go when I was complaining about being stressed due to two challenge deadlines that I was struggling to even think about meeting but today is one of those days that makes it all worthwhile.
I have written almost 4000 words today and I really quite like a lot of them, I've also had a number of discussions with someone who is great at making me think about my characters as real human beings and that has really clarified the way the story is going I think.
I should probably have been playing with Tiny or doing housework but the fact that I got words on paper that made me smile today is probably good for all of us :-)
Your wordage is brilliant and I'm so pleased it made you happy.
ReplyDeleteAs to what you should have been doing - housework always keeps (I have plenty of practice in that!) and if Tiny was happy then it doesn't hurt for her to learn to entertain herself and not always look to someone else for entertainment. Just think, she may be making up tiny stories herself.
I think dolly was ill and needed a trip to the doctors who prescribed her two bowls of cereal and a chocolate bar before sending her on a trip to the shops for some vegabls ;-)
DeleteYou see, she has the makings of an author already.
