Oh, the Muse is kind when she gets her way. A little too kind...
2015 has begun with writing over 2,000 a words a day so far. Except for today, but we should not despair! I have a good excuse for the slight delay.
The Muse decided I needed to be woken up at 1 AM so she can share her new thoughts on my short story. She provided my sleep addled mind with a soul wrenching ending, and a fix for my slow beginning. Not wanting to lose this gem, I scrambled out of bed to snatch the nearest scrap of paper. My fingers flew to capture each thought. When I finished filling five pages, I collapsed onto my pillow. Sore eyes and sore fingers caused a bit of a delay in falling off to sleep. However, I was ecstatic with my sudden progress.
Until I finally took a look at my notes. Those who know me can instantly verify my handwriting is not the clearest. It's honestly a miracle I can read most of these words. The issue is they are all over the place in every sense. The outline is not chronological at all. Words scribble in every other direction, and not all of them are complete. I can only thank God I remember most of what happened
last night.
So my first task for the day is to reassemble this outline. Hopefully that doesn't take all day since I do want to actually write at some point.
