I don't know if it's just me or if everyone who enjoys writing has a hundred stories developing inside their heads constantly. I roughly plotted three novels in the shower this morning. Not to mention all the 'fixes' that I think reworking in my novel in progress every night as I try to fall asleep. Sadly I usually forget half of them by morning.
My problem is, I need quiet, uninterupted time to sit and write. An hour a day slowly chips away at the monstrous task of editing, but it feels like I'm barely inching along. While the kids are having their naps I grab myself some water, put on some 'writing' music and have at 'er. Sadly in what feels like five minutes I hear the dreaded call from down the hall...'Can we get up now?' /sigh...my time is up.
Instead of the kids calling down the hall, it's now my husband or his brother on the phone calling me out to the field to help with harvest;-)
ReplyDeleteAs for all the ideas, sometimes I'm able to pull a couple of novel ideas together to 'thicken' things up. Of course, still all in the planning stages.
