In My Evolution As a Writer...Words

[queenoftheskies]

I have noticed a number of things over this past year.

The more I write, the more I am able to write. Why? I have no clue. Absolutely none.

It used to be easy to stress and say I didn't have time. I didn't have time. I guess I still don't have time.

And, yet, I find myself writing. It's very strange.

Some days, I look back at everything I did, and then I ask myself, How the hell did I get that many words in when I was going a million directions at once?

And, I have no answer. Except that the words are there and are proof that I wrote.

Some days, there are more words. Some days there are less. Some days, there are none. But, those days are few and far between now, which makes me happy.

I don't know where I'll go from here. I hope I can grow, or at least maintain in the face of real life.

But, since I've tackled the words and writing every day, I've noticed that other aspects of my writing life are evolving as well, and I've begun trying to tackle them one at a time.

When my son was little and had (to put it mildly) sleep issues, I read a book that contained the line, "Sleep begets sleep."

I started putting him to bed earlier ... and it helped! He slept later!

Anyway, maybe it's like that with writing, too. It works for you, and that's all that matters.
