Musings and meanderings on my writing process, progress and procrastination.
1. About this Recent Silence: Progress Report

I’ve been quiet. Too quiet.

It’s not because I’m embarrassed about my lack of word-count progress on this WIP. It’s more a function of thoughts and their elusiveness.  Like they’re up there in that cloud and you can’t quite reach them in. Like they’re around the corner in that dream and your legs won’t take you a step farther. Like they’re floating around your head, but they flee when you make a move to stare them straight in the face.

Even though they’re roaming free, I get this idea that if I talk about them, not only will they stop hanging around, they’ll scatter to other realms of the universe. So I’ve been quiet.

The other day, though, one dared to tap me on the shoulder. It demanded I drop a few preconceived givens and open my mind to something a little different. So I did. And some of the thoughts are hovering close enough that I can write this.
