Been procrastinating sitting down to write for weeks now and finally closed off my bedroom and sat and silence and start to write. I didn't prethink it. I didn't work it out in my head. I had no particular mood or good feeling--I just sat down and started writing about this girl whose older sister was coming home after years in Europe. Then my laptop lost power but I managed to write around 400 words. Then I got out my green blank book and started another writing session about a man comparing life to a rat in a maze and blaming God for the result and contemplating taking himself out of the race. That was about 800 words.
I guess I've been putting writing off because it does not come like it use to and often I don't like what I end up putting on paper. But I remember hearing a Stephen King talk where he just kept on writing and kept on writing even though is was not what he wanted. So that's what I am attempting to do. Just always be writing...always be writing and hopefully I'll get better. A couple of stories a day and in a year over 700 hundred stories--can I get better with that volume?
