Whew! Just got back from an envigorating walk a while ago. The weather was great and it was nice to be out.

I was planning to make this entry and then do some writing, but mom called and we ended up talking for 30 mins. So, now there's not enough time to do much. I'll work on it later. I've got to get some hours in at the library. I'm so behind! Still trying to catch up hours from my time off after Xander was born.

I've decided to write when ever I feel the urge. I need to lear to love it. I'd grown to hate the whole writing process. Too much going on in my head while I'm working on a story. 'Who can I sell it to?' 'Will it be good enough to sell?' 'How long will it be?' 'Is it going to fit this market or that market?' 'Am I writing this scene well enough?' 'Is my grammar proper here?' 'Am I being redundant?' They are all good questions to think about, but at this point I don't think I should dwell too much on those negatives. I need to focus on writing for the love of telling the story. I need to write because I *want* to, not because I force myself. I shouldn't be concerned with word counts or selling it, but getting the story out of my head.

Well, anyway, you get the picture. I'll keep ya posted.
