I’m feeling creative and optimistic, writing-wise. And I’m not sure why that is, since I’m also feeling really antsy about writing. I’ve been jumping between stories, and I feel like I should come up with some kind of fun! summer! project to…well, you name it. More than anything, though, I’d like to take my work in progress and actually make progress (without seeming to put undue emphasis on the work). Because, you know, writing is just such a fun! thing to do in the summer!
Of course it’s not summer! for a few weeks, so it’s okay that I haven’t come up with a project.
And of course another project is the last thing I need. I already have lots of projects. I just need to keep working on them. I just need to finish one of them. And that’s the time to ask myself: Am I having fun! yet?
Write. Yes! Repeat.

Well it’s summer now. So I hope you started.
there’s a lot of pressure to write in the summer when there’s more time to do it, isn’t there? i’ve used that as an excuse sometimes — “oh, this is too easy — i’ll wait until it gets harder and then I’ll show my bravery to all these blank pages.”
good on you for not being that.
