It's been two days..

[gridlore]

and a complete turnaround in my writing energy. I had been hitting brick walls, and just been unwilling to write. It was becoming an unpleasant thing. My deadline hung over me, alternately appearing as a black cloud and as the sword of Damocles (cue the music, Doc!) Slogging through this book was horrible.

Yesterday Rose and I attacked the living room. Cleaned, rearranged furniture, Made Rose a space for her work so we can all co-exist. sinboy came over later and cleaned our kitchen. I took shitloads of garbage and recycling downstairs... we filled the containers ourselves! Place looks great. And I went to bed exhausted after starting yet another doomed game of Nethack.

This morning I get up and check news and mail. With much trepidation, I begin writing. That's when the dam bursts. The words come out in great blocks, faster than I can type them. Inspiration hits me over and over, and worlds that were only going to get a single paragraph get five.

I should have taken a break an hour ago, but I've been afraid to stop. Hunger, however, is beginning to interfere with higher brain functions.

This is writing!!</

Woo hoo! Now, stop posting to LJ and get back to the book...the Muses are fickle, and you ride the wave when it comes by.

You might want to replace that name with "sinboy"--I think he prefers that.

I am so, so, so happy to hear that this revitalized you. I definitely felt loads better just wandering around the place afterwards.

Yay for inspiration!

If hunger is starting to interfere, then you are too far from the kitchen. Or you need to try and talk a housemate into making snack runs for you.

Me? I used to keep snacks near the computer. Now that I have to watch what I eat, I don't. Then again, most of the writing I do outside of mailing lists/newsgroups, is done on a handheld anyway.

Good for you!! Let me know when you're done writing, so we can resume our conversations *g*.

Woo-hoo!
