we have taken a week off from our day job. I’m thrilled that I can now devout more time to Only Superstition. I actually creeped myself out a few nights ago. There are moments when you get in a zone writing and everything around you just becomes white noise (if you have ever written, you know what I mean).
There is a weird moment when it is just you and your thoughts and the words take on a world of your own. Of course I was writing a pretty dark scene and my window has a tree that gives off these little flowers that are now starting to take a plum size shape. As I was writing one must have fallen against my window and made a loud bang. Obviously I jumped and looked around with a sort of startled expression.
The dogs were not having it and immediately started barking. I ignored it of course and continued writing. But it was that jump effect that made me think “ah-ha!” I know I’ve done my job when I’ve made that happen.
So here’s to getting through another 25k words this week - we’re going to need all the motivation to get there.
