I have tried exactly two times in the past to write a book. Both times I lost steam and enthusiasm for the idea. Meanwhile, this attempt is chugging right along. I'm at 16,000 words. I have characters I love. I am spending most of my free time thinking about the plot. I have actually started to check my phone for texts form my characters. Trust me, I know that puts me in the "a little bit out there" territory.
I can't wait to sit down at my PC and type. I'm considering edits already, but I'm not letting that stop my forward momentum. I am cautiously optimistic that I won't abandon this manuscript.
In other news, spring break continues to drag by. I had hoped to do something fun with the kids today, but we watched movies again. I am going to blame the lack of activity on the crappy weather. I feel like it's impossible to plan too much outdoor fun when the temperatures is hovering in the 20s and 30s.
I am not sure what else to report. I'm trying to keep momentum going here, too, but most of my creative energy is being diverted into my manuscript. I did have the chance to see my trainer today. I know it seems crazy to pay for a trainer when we are struggling financially, but it's cheaper than therapy and a lot more exhausting.
