I Can't Believe It

I'm actually writing again.  I mean, words are actually flowing from my fingertips without a huge effort for the first time in...months!  Last night, I got 3000 words.  I actually have something to report to Sven today.  I went from 12% of my goal to 23.5%.  I actually feel like I am making progress.  What a relief.  I was beginning to think that the drama of the past 9 months in my personal life had sucked the urge to write right out of me.  I was really beginning to worry.

Maybe I've just finally accepted that there is only so much I can do and need to accept it and live with it.  Two weeks away from work may have helped  a lot too.  I only checked my email once! 

This is one of the first times I've taken time off when I didn't have something else to do.  Well, my dad and his wife came to visit for a couple of days.  Then my mom, who hasn't been to my house in almost two years, decided to visit for a couple of nights.  She spent New Year's Eve with me, which was nice.  Otherwise, it would have been my son and I toasting and going to bed.  Instead it was the three of us toasting, playing a game until about 1am, then bed.  I digress...

So, basically, I am happy the muse hasn't completely deserted me, which was my biggest fear.  I'm hoping to get 3000-5000 in today.  [I have to take down the Christmas decorations first though.  My neighbors are probably in fear that I'll leave my lights on through the summer... It is tempting.]
