I learned something about my writing process this weekend. I updated my story last week, which was everything I've drafted so far in my story. The only thing I had was that it is his birthday, and I had an idea what the party could be like. I sensed that I needed to do something on paper this weekend to keep the story alive in my head. If I go more than a few weeks without at least drafting anything, I'm going to lose Eddie's. This happens all the time, and I have a ton of words sitting in limbo because I've lost the voice. I'm also a notorious 😁 . Why do something today that you can put off until tomorrow has been my unofficial motto since Kindergarten. This whole week, I've been telling myself that I need to draft at least something before the end of the weekend. I'm not going to be home tomorrow, so it needed to be today. The problem was: I'm tired when I get home from work, and it takes a lot of mental energy to create a story. For me, spreadsheeting is a mindless activity that I use to relax. I create all kinds of spreadsheets, and most of it is just mindless number crunching. So, why do something today that I can put off until tomorrow? I finally got to the point where I just needed to sit down and write something. Before I started, I thought "This won't a long update." Right away, as soon as I sat at the keyboard, things started coming to me. In the end, for something that I thought would be a short update, it ended up at 4.3k. It might be longer once I go through the editing process. Sometimes, the best idea to break through a block is to sit with the story and see what comes to you.
