I spent a couple of days with my writer-daughter and we both got a little work done. I don’t know what broke through her block, but she sat down saying she didn’t know what to do with a particular scene and got up with the scene finished.
I’m working on a comic mystery–I had finished about fifty pages, but it wasn’t feeling right. I decided to try changing it from third person to first person, and that’s bringing it to life for me. As I go through and change it, I’m opening up the scenes as well. It was going too fast, before, had no shape. I think it’s better now….
Tomorrow, I need to get started on my columns for next week. I think I know what I’m going to do them on; at least, two or three of the five. I love getting started early in the week. I enjoy poking around and following my curiosity. When I get started later in the week, I have to just shove something out–always something I’m interested in, but not so much exploring.
