Note to self: Don’t read fiction before breakfast.
I got almost no writing done yesterday. Eked out maybe 200 words. At the time, I felt like I was stuck because I had no idea what came next in the story. Couldn’t picture it. Couldn’t find it. Just… total dead end.
Then this morning, when I was walking the dog, bits and pieces started to come back to me. I caught a line, which turned into a thread, and I started seeing where it was going again.
When I got back home, though, I picked up the book I was reading and … swoosh, away it all went again. It’s going to come back because I’m going to stare at the open Word file until it does, but ugh, it’s annoying.
I love fiction for the escape, but I think I’m probably better off not reading while I’m writing. I need my escape to be into my world, not someone else’s.
LOL … Oooh! A bunny rabbit! I am so easily distracted anymore. It’s bad enough that I’m like others when I go into a room and suddenly my mind has been erased and I have no clue why I wanted to be in the room I’m in, but I realize that I could never hold down an actual job. I wouldn’t last 5 minutes! Have a good day — and watch out for those bunnies!
I do that, too! I’ll be standing in the kitchen turning in circles trying to remember why I’m there. 🙂
ROFL… yep… 🙂

Sorry, don’t know what happened there. I did that yesterday. I got the Sharron Shinn – troubled waters, book from the local library and read the entire book yesterday. Nothing else was accomplished after I picked it up. Today I got the second book in the series and have reserved the third for when it arrives. – Thanks a bunch Sarah 🙂 . I had never read her before and she is rather good, isn’t she.
Oh, I am so jealous of you, catsongea! You’re not even starting with her best series. The Five Houses books are so good and the Samaria series has some that are terrific. I’ve reread them all, but would love to read them for the first time again! I don’t love everything she’s written, but all of them are worth reading.
