The proberbial bug has bit. I'm back to writing. And I'm doing it on Linux minus my internet connection so I don't get distracted. I'm passionate about the story, but a good email has a very bad effect on my work ethic.
This story is so unlike anything I've ever done before that I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm a little scared of it. But Madeleine L'Engle's words keep coming back to me...be a servant of the work. A servant...a servant...a servant...that means fighting fear, defeating resistance and writing what is meant to be written, even when all I want to do is go do something mundane and meaningless.
In other news, today was officially day one of spring break. In seven days, I go back again.
I comfort myself with the vague notion that there is only one more quarter left in the school year and after that...summer stretches out before me in all its vastness and glory.
Heh. Getting overdramatic, aren't we? Told you I had the bug.
By the way, Madeleine L'Engle's book 'Walking on Water' is one of the best I have ever read. It's...beyond amazing. Read it. Especially if you're an artist, a writer, a lover of beauty.
