I have been writing creatively (short stories, poems, novellas, novels, etc) since I was in the seventh grade. During that time I have had ups and downs, times of prolificness and times of wasteland. I've experienced every mood a writer can go through as she attempts genius. My mom once commented on hearing Beethoven and knowing I was writing. Very moody, heavy stuff.
For the past few months I haven't been able to even open my book, The Keepers. I've had such a hard time even thinking about it. I have some theories, but I'll try not to ramble more than usual this afternoon.
But today I cracked it open and started editing. I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as I thought it was months ago. But it is. I thought I wouldn't like it because of my association with it to a friendship gone awry. But I was fine and in fact, reading and editing and writing made me stronger for it. I thanks the Muses.
I remember the first time I opened Lexi after you had edited it and I hadn't touched it for months. It was nice to see it wasn't the train wreck I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm so glad you started editing! Yay! It's so good for you to be "back in the saddle" so to speak. Enjoy it! And tell me all about it since I'm writing vicariously through you!
I will write you an email to tell you how delish this is. Wow. It is hard, but it is good. I'm just grateful to be back in the saddle.
