Writing Again

mood: artistic

And it feels good. For a few reasons: First and foremost, DS is making strides in a new and positive direction. Which means that when I bury myself in my WIP ( which has a teenaged boy who suffers with an addiction ) then it's not as painful to 'go there'. It's also great to have something to look forward to. 

When I first started writing some nearly six years ago I literally couldn't sleep, I was so anxious to get up and get back to the computer. My mind buzzed constantly, my whole being soaked up every creative thing I saw, read, experienced--whatever--yearning for an outlet.

Being back with my characters--who have remained in limbo for three months--feels like going home and finding everything the same, waiting for me. Indeed, each character seems happy to have me back!

I'm happy to see you back, too, K.!!!

How wonderful, that DS is on a good path now. That makes everything so much easier, no?

Welcome back! Glad to hear DS is doing well.

I can relate to what you said about hardly being able to sleep because of the ideas spinning in my head. That doesn't happen as much these days, but I realize growing into authorhood is a lot like a relationship. We go through that giddy romantic stage while we get acquainted with the craft then gradually we move into a more solid, grounded relationship that isn't always fun. It includes some rejection, some pain, and great joy.

Being a writer is such an interesting journey.

Happy you're writing again, Kath. Wish I have the same drive...maybe I need to take time off too. The 4 weeks trip to Kenya didn't seem to do the trick.

Keep at it.
