And I liked it.
Don’t laugh. Sometimes putting thoughts into words is hard work. It wasn’t tonight, but it’s been very hard lately.
Oh yeah, I’ve got all the excuses. Actually other people make them for me.
“You’ve been through so much change lately.”
“You’re very busy.”
I guess. Who isn’t busy though? And when is life free of some kind of change?
Truth is I just hadn’t felt like writing. And if I wanted to find the time, it wouldn’t have been that difficult.
So, what changed today?
Not a ton. I made a commitment to the Lord at the start of the year to get back to a regular writing routine. I’d had long enough to give my excuses. It was time to get back to work.
Today was extra fun though. I forgot about all the rules and simply started tapping away at the keyboard.
Lo and behold, I had me about 1,200 words. I wrote a scene I’d been mulling in my head for months, and got it done.
So, go write a few words, Writer. Do it tonight and tomorrow and the next day. You might find you like it too 🙂

You know when I want to write, Will? When I have had a day, and I’m laying in bed, bone-tired, too exhausted to actually get up and do anything about it, and THEN the words come! And–I have to get my sleep, so I think “I’ll remember this for later.” But I never do. 😛
That’s great, Will. Even when I don’t “feel like” writing, I have often found that just showing up makes a big difference. Once I get my fingers on the keyboard, things start flowing. And if they don’t, it’s usually typing out the stuff cluttering my mind (into a journal) that clears it enough to let the creative juices flow again.
