November IWSG
I have been making slow, very slow progress on my next story in the Second Chance series. The biggest complaint/insecurity I have this month (and most every month) is that writing is always the first thing that takes the back-burner when life gets busy. I decided I'd wake up an hour earlier in the morning to devote to book stuff. Great plan! The flaw with it is that I really like to sleep. It doesn't take much to convince me to stay in my comfy, cozy bed. But hey, this plan could get me to The End within the next five years...
Oh my.
Some days, words are hard, but there's always the next day. Never give up!

What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?
It's not your typical creative outlet, but since my father-in-law passed away a few years ago, so my husband inherited a farm that keeps us busy. Now, you might not think of farming as creative, but trust me, it comes with all sorts of opportunities for unorthodox problem solving. Chad and I have fixed watering troughs with shop vacs, fence lines with scraps of barbed wire, and patched together more equipment with scavenged parts than I could ever count. It's rewarding, exhausting, and more than a bit time consuming, hence the three year turn-around on the next book and the blog negligence.

I imagine running a farm is a ton of work!

I find it easier to get out of bed in the morning now that it's lighter earlier.
ReplyDeleteI would say all that problem solving is totally creative! And transferrable to solving plot holes, etc. :)
Every experience feeds into the creative process eventually.
ReplyDeleteHaha That quote is perfect! And yeah, a farm is a dang lot of work!
