It's been a looong time since I've posted. Why? I haven't felt inspired...haven't had time...felt lazy-- a whole number of reasons. Since NaNo, my creative fuel has altogether vanished, but once listening to the amazing Elizabeth Gilbert speak at the TED conference, I realized that I was approaching my writing process the entirely wrong way. It's not exactly my fault if I'm not writing brilliance, but it's my fault if I don't " show up to work" ready to be assisted by my writing genius. Check out her speech to see what I'm mean.
I'm off to sit my butt in a chair, grab my journal and pen and begin writing, whether I like it or not. I might add some dancing around every few minutes with some chants of Allah and Ole:)
I'm going to finish this first draft before school ends, I swear.
