A return to writing

ZOMG! I. Am. Actually. WRITING. Really. Not just talking about how I need to be doing it either. Typing words n’ stuff. Snoopy Dance time! I had been on this weird writer’s block/exhaustion thing for about 2 years now. The first year I was chronically sick and a walking zombie from what later turned out to be a gluten allergy. Can I just say that I love when my doctors change my diet and make me sicker. It’s so awesome, I highly recommend it to you all. :/ Anyway, then some time last year I literally drowned at work. And that was before our biggest book was coming out for the year. Ut oh. Between those two problems, I was either working or sleeping and not much else. Yeah, fun times. But now I’ve been off gluten for just over a year and I got to hire a kick ass addition to my department – that totally calls for a huzzah! Indeed.

Now that that’s all squared away, I have been able to return to writing. I’ve spent the last few weekends reacquainting myself with the trilogy I’m working on. What that really means is that there were some fabulous chunks of time spent with me staring at the screen and cursing because the story wasn’t clicking. Oh and then there was pacing, of course. But finally it did click. The world opened up to me again. The characters are talking and that’s a wonderful thing.

Oh yeah! And I have a laptop now. It’s a MacBook Pro. I’ve never owned a laptop before, not to mention a Mac. I love that I can write in the living room now with all the space and the windows. (Could do without Ruki trying to attack my power cord though. ). Mobility is helping the writing groove too. Next up, I need to get wireless at home…and maybe head outside to the park to write too…

That’s that. I’m off to write and maybe pamper my oh so neglected cat for a while.

Have a happy day!
