It’s been a while since I’ve had a day like today. NaNoWriMo-while, to be specific. But today I got a 5,000+ word day in writing. I finally got through a specific scene that’s been blocking me for some time in one of the novels I’m working on. This novel is now over 30,000 words long too, so it’s 60% of the way toward being a full-fledged novel (although 50,000 words is still a really SHORT novel).
Anyway, it’s been nice writing like this. Days like this are what really remind me that I am a writer. And I don’t mean that in the sense of “writing is what I do” but instead I mean that in the sense that “writing is what I am.” When a story clicks and it zooms out, it’s the greatest feeling in the world for me :-)
Now I just need to get paid (yeah, I’ve earned enough through self-publishing to buy myself a cup of coffee…but I need enough so I can write full time!).
