It was easy for me to say my new mantra would be "write constantly" after a very productive writing weekend. It's only Tuesday, and I've already felt the swarm of work descend upon me like a swarm of hornets, buzzing in my ears to run away from what I want to do and drown myself in what "needs to be done."
I didn't write a word yesterday. But I didn't forget my new mantra. I may not have a new scene written, but I have figured out how to kill a character.
And you know, that's a delicious part of writing: we're considered industrious, productive workers when we plot murder!

And I know some folks you're dying to kill! Thank goodness were critique partners! :)
Don't let life get in the way even though I hear what you're sayin'.
Kill away, kill away, dear Beth. :)
LOL! Yes, I think there is a fine line between creative writing and insanity! ;0)
Happy writing!
Christy
Absolutely!
LOL!
Well, I never say I'll write every day because I know it just won't happen. Keep trying, though!
See ... even though it's not technically on paper, it's in your head ... so, you're still working on your writing!
LOL!!! Go easy on yourself! :-)
Reality bites us all from time to time.
Take a deep breath. It's okay to miss a day or two from writing :)
Robyn: Actually, the death I figured out for this novel is for one of your favorite characters...!!!
Christy: So ironic that you should say that! Part of the theme of this one is the perception of insanity associated with artists...
Keri: :)
Glam: I don't think I'll be able to physically write every day, but I'm enjoying being able to think through it at least, and keep it at the top of my mind.
Kelly: Yup! The best part! :)
Litgirl: But murder's fun! :)
Lois: Yeah...argh. I wish I had a time machine, just so I could be more productive!
Crimey: I've got all my chips in the pot, baby ;) Wide open!
