A Good Day!

Yesterday, I felt unusually inspired to write … but the feeling passed. ;)

Today, more inspiration, largely in the form of a newspaper article about a college classmate of mine who is now a highly successful lawyer. Meanwhile, I’m a guy who sits at home dreaming about writing a novel. Hmm.

So: after many of the usual delays and procrastinations, I opened the computer file containing one of my partially drafted novels. I dawdled my way through reading it, fixing a repeated word here, a flimsy reference there. And then – yes! – I actually added on to the end of the story-in-progress. Today’s burst comprised hundreds of words rather than thousands, but still, it’s waaay better than the usual zero!

One day of writing is happenstance. Two in a row is a streak. Let’s see if I can keep this streak alive tomorrow!
