Sweating update

I’ve been busily writing, trying to keep Sven happy. Not totally successful on keeping to the daily goals, but happy with what I’ve done. I’ve also been revising an 80,000 word novel—again. Long story short. I lost the finished revisions on my computer. I’m sure the file is there somewhere. I just can’t find it.

Since I’ve had some ups and downs lately. I thought I’d share some of my favorite quotes.

Sometimes I feel exactly like this:

“When I sit down at my writing desk, time seems to vanish. I think it’s a wonderful way to spend one’s life.” ——Erica Jong

Most of the time, it’s not that easy. Sometimes I feel as if I’m walking through mud as I write. It’s slow and hard. Sometimes I don’t feel as if I’ve made any progress at all. When I’m feeling like that, this is the quote I think about:

“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”——Jack London
