I remembering reading that Niel Gaiman basically wrote Coraline on 50 words a day. I feel like that right now with my work. I know where the story is going. It’s on a good track, but man finding the time and energy to write is tough. So many things have to get done this time of year in my normal life, day job, taxes, family things, and such, that it’s a struggle. Don’t even get me started on keeping up with social media.
Still, I press on. The creative process of writing and bringing stories to life is a part of me. Even if I wasn’t publishing stories, I’d still be writing them. While I find reading to be an excellent escape from reality, writing is more so. It’s a stress reducer, a Zen moment where I can simply indulge my overactive imagination. That, in and of itself, is a fabulous gift for me. I need that kind of artistic expression in my life.
Anyway, back to putting more words into the story. This posts image is from book 1 chapter 19. Enjoy!
