01/09/2006: "Writing"


Great writing day yesterday and my third night on the couch. When I'm getting near the end of a book, I sleep on the couch outside of my office. In part because then I can work weird hours without disturbing anyone but it's also because there's this thing I have where I need to be physically close to the book and my computer. At this point, I've sort of forsaken my real world for the book world and I want that proximity. And no one in my house thinks too much about it. My husband will drop by my office on his way to bed and say, "You on the couch tonight?" "Yep." hehe

I'm pleased with the direction the story is taking. These are the days I love, when things just fly into the story out of left field. Of course I have major points planned when I start a book, but for the most part, I just make stuff up as I go. shocked It's definitely not the easiest way to write and I often wish I was one of those left brainers who has everything planned from page 1 to THE END and it's just a matter of getting it down on the paper. But I am what I am and my process is what it is and all I can do is embrace it. crazy rolls eyes confused

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
