Writing Season

My household is under attack. Flu season has not gone well for us, and I would be lying to say it has not affected my writing. Well, the fevers are gone and though my voice is still hoarse this is not Hour a Day Talker, and I need to get back to writing.

So now I’m preparing for Writing Season. By that I mean I am focusing my mental efforts not just on getting that hour of writing done each day, but feeling excited about it.

One interesting byproduct of constant creative focus = more ideas. When I was younger I never had any good ideas. I wanted to write, but what about? Now, I have way more ideas than I could ever write in a lifetime. I have notebooks full of ideas. In order to bring back some of my motivation for Writing Season I am going to allow myself to work on other projects. I’ve been focusing on one thing hoping to finish it. Well, I’m sick of it. Instead of just stopping I need to move on to something else.

Here’s wishing you lots of quality ideas this writing season!
