A little writing
I think I am mostly up to date now on all the stuff that was delayed because of losing a week to the flu. Well everything except the writing that is. I had to do all that other stuff - the work stuff and house stuff, the parts of my life that pays the bills after all - before I could dedicate some time to writing again.
And then I had to try to find some momentum. I am a momentum kind of writer. I know this. And a confidence kind of writer. For some reason, despite having written eleven novels, one of which has been published and another of which is due out in 2018, I still struggle when faced with the screen/keyboard to convince myself I can do this. I manufacture reason after reason to not do any actual writing - last minute tasks that I simply must do and then I can write. It's just procrastination I know, procrastination based on fear.
In some ways it's quite odd. I create computer systems during my work day that the entire business of the company I work for relies on. I do this without any worries and yet when I try to write the nerves appear. It's kind of strange. I guess my head is just wired a little wrong.
Anyway I did finally manage to stop re-arrange the display cabinets and do some writing today. Hopefully I can maintain this.
