A stark window in the day-to-day of writing. No glitz or glamor. Just passion and the obstacles that keep us from it in just the right number of words. Quiet enjoyed this. Thank you Kathryn. Looking forward to more :)
Thank you so much, Kathryn. I like the way you articulated the suspense of the submission process. I guess the bit that is hidden in plain sight is the requirement to surrender when you submit. It can, however, stop the writing. The act of surrender means taking life on life's terms and, mostly, that approach helps me move through the unknowing and endure the waiting.
I write a series here based on the journal I have been keeping for 35 years and even though it is nonfiction it requires a lot of imagination and I totally agree that imagination needs to lie fallow for a time to refresh itself - but I can still be impatient with that! I also believe that a lot of my writing happens when I am not writing, maybe when I am watching the news riding my spinning bike, or even sleeping. Offline time is vital.
