It takes a while to get going, but once I’m in motion it goes well. I hate that I don’t have consecutive days in which to work, though; it takes me hours to get back into the flow of thought and theme. And there’s so many layers in this story that I need to be in the right headspace for it to happen correctly, otherwise I just flail around, which gets neither me nor the book anywhere.
Off to get the boy. Orchestra tonight. No idea what will happen in that dinner-shaped space in between.
I feel the same way about my own swan story. It’s a very particular headspace, and one that’s not easily achieved just by sitting down and writing. Unlike, say, zombies. They write themselves. ;)
Have fun at orchestra!
