Being back home with the kids back at school doesn't only mean that I have more time for myself, but also that I get to sit in my office, instead of the dining table in the middle of the living room, and also that I can catch up on blog reading - a bit. Just stumbled upon this
post, today, and found it so relevant to what I'm going through, now, and so often, that I just have to share. Go visit Heather
Vogel Frederick's blog,
Set sail for adventure. There are some gems, there.
I particularly like Jo Knowles' contribution. He must be one of those writers who don't outline: "Writing a first draft is like trying to assemble a giant jigsaw puzzle without getting to look at the picture first."
Another favorite, from Rukhsana Khan: "Writing a first draft is like stepping off a cliff and hoping the story will catch you."

Oooh. I like that last one. Just shows how much faith we have in our stories. As we should -- especially you. So happy writing in your big beautiful study.
It is a matter of faith, isn't it? And I shifted my desk in my office, Rilla. So much nicer, now. Thanks for stopping and saying hello :)
