I love to write
Just starting the topic with that title made the song from Mary Poppins jump in my head “I love to laugh”. Shit.
I love writing. Even if I’m not top notch, even if I never get published, I still love to write. Oh, and thank you WordPress for putting the word “Publish” for each post instead of “Post” so that it feels like I get published every other day!
It doesn’t just seem to be a hobby anymore, and even though I’m pressing out on my book (70 000 wds so far), it still makes me happy to sit down here and write something. It’s not drudgery. Not necessarily my blog kind of writing, but story writing. I’ve been writing this novel for a few years now as I came smack up to a big writing block (creating a villain is harder than you might think). But I got back into it after a little inspiration (*cough* land* *cough*) and have loved it since. I even get a little carried away when writing, like this morning I started this blog and wasn’t paying attention until I heard dh call downstairs wondering why I wasn’t ready for church… oops.
I’m leaving for holidays in possibly 3 days (dh wants to leave a day earlier than planned) and I think I’m going to pack paraphernalia for writing. A couple of good gel pens and 2 writing pads. I’ll be all set to roll.
I guess after Wednesday this place will be quiet until I get back.
