The only thing harder than actually writing my book; is when I have to stop writing my book. Once I get into the zone, words pour out of me like a running faucet. Writing like that can leave me feeling: Raw. Skinless. Armor-less. Defenseless. It’s an incredible experience. I wish it was always like that when it came to writing.
During the week, I find it rather difficult work on my book. By the time I am finished with my ‘To Do List’, it’s already 10pm. I absolutely dread when I see the clock strike the hour where I am forced to turn “it” off and shut “it” down. While I’ve been lying awake at night playing with words and the characters in my head, I haven’t been able to get any of it down on paper. You see, I’ve learned the hard way, that I must to go to bed before midnight in order to be able to function the next day in the office.
As such, I find myself becoming increasingly resentful towards my job. I’ve been angrily blaming ‘The Office’ for getting in the way of being able to take full advantage of The Muse. Especially when I want nothing more than to run with her…where ever she may take me. We all know how fickle and unpredictable she can be.
At least I have this weekend to get ‘buck wild’ on Chapter Four. I can’t wait to pick up, right where I left off.
Oh! Yeah. I almost forgot to mention this little nugget. I am going to do an interview “DJ Bob” from the bar where I used to dance. The last time I saw or spoke to “DJ Bob” has to be a little over 7 years ago? Recently, he happened to find me through myspace. I will be meeting up with him tonight to interrogate him with seven million questions. It should be very interesting to hear some of the memories he has about me to add to my story. At first, I questioned weather or not I wanted have any real ‘face time’ with the people from my past, but I figure what better way to deal with it, then to literally FACE IT.
I hope all of you have a most wonderful weekend. I will be visiting ya’ll when I need to take a break from the intensity my book stirs up inside of me.
