I have a confession to make. I took four days off from writing. I know I promised to write every day this month, but sometimes you just need a break! Or at least I did. Today after working out, showering, etc. I brewed another half pot of coffee and turned on my computer. It took me a few minutes to even remember what I had last written, which could have been avoided if I hadn't stopped writing. But I sipped my coffee and, like Popeye with his can of spinach, I sprang into action.
Before I knew it I finished my new chapter, and satisfied with what I wrote, I made the move from creating new chapters back to editing. As I read through chapter five, occasionally changing or adding something, I realized that I was truly enjoying what I was reading. I felt like these newly edited parts were now something I could be proud of. They were now something entertaining me and leaving me wanting more. My head swelled with pride and I kept going, only stopping long enough to pick Ethan up from school. Around five o'clock I finally had to stop for the night so that I could get dinner made.
It was such a successful day of writing that I can't wait to dive in again tomorrow. So sometimes I guess you just need a few days off.
