Writing process

Writers gotta write

Daylight saving started on the weekend.  I love it, but it takes a week to get used to.  Suddenly it’s midnight and you’re not in bed, even though you have to get up at six to get ready for work.

 To make matters worse, I wake up this morning at five.  Urgh.  I know from experience if I go back to sleep now, I’ll sleep through the alarm.

There’s a whole lot of must-do’s swirling around in my head.  Work is so busy right now.  I have reports to complete, figures to analyse, a presentation to write. Outside of that, there’s the course notes I need to finish for the course we are running next month.  Not to mention, a novel to write.  What with work and the course notes, I haven’t touched latest story for three weeks.  I’m feeling ultra-guilty.

Then, into my head pops a brand new story idea.  I like it.  No, I love it.

I crawl out of bed and turn on the computer.

Guess which one I work on.

Writers!
