As I sit here with my earbuds in listening to Annie's song from John Denver I realize that I write more to music than I do without. While my songs are not the songs of the characters they do set me in the mood to work. There are a lot of distractions in a simple day even for a stay at home mom, wife and writer.
As my other blogs have shown there are a lot of things i work on during the day. From crocheting blankets, to painting to making little plastic models of robots, I can get myself distracted. I bake a lot, cook a lot and try to do many things each day.
This is both a good and a bad thing. As a writer I should be sitting my butt down and typing up a storm every single chance I have. And to be honest I do do a lot of writing. In the past year I have written 41 separate tales that have been published and I have 15 more that are finished and either submitted to anthologies or pages or are waiting for covers to be released by me. That is all since the first of the year. A lot of work done yes.
Now though I want to complete the novel I started last year. I have spent two days editing and now I need to settle down and write and write and write. This tale is a good one i think with a touch of romance, magic and of course conflict. There are good guys, bad guys and everything a tale needs but can I finish it this time? Who knows but I plan on it. So off to work I go.
