I have not been writing. True, in the last 3 months, I have faced my mom’s decline and death, weird electrical problems, a hit and run leaving a burning car in the front of my house, household changes, and an water line break in my attic. A buttload of unexpected pressure at work plus slacker employees who veer toward drama.

Writing and expending any energy or emotions to bleed words onto the page was not going to happen when I wanted to hibernate.

In other words I lacked motivation..

Or so I thought until I watched this TED talk:

It is true that I was more in love with the idea of the story than the actual work of writing. Writing is one of those things that doesn’t come easy to me.

It was why I wrote. To keep my brain elastic and keep it learning and working.

So I am back to writing. Small steps. One page a day until the 15th of this month, then I will bump it up to 2 pages until I get up to 3 pages a day.

Which means I may have a new book out in June.

Fingers-crossed, I keep on keeping on.

Until next time, stay healthy and warm.
