Showers & Flowers #IWSG
Hi, gang! Here we are in April, can you believe it? I know you're all busy, busy, so I'll get right to the optional IWSG Day question: When your writing life is a bit cloudy or filled with rain, what do you do to dig down and keep on writing?
Two things. One is---write. Even when I know what I'm spewing is garbage, I remind myself I can always go back and rewrite later. Eventually, I warm up and the words start flowing better.
Secondly---this one tends to happen more by necessity rather than design---I step away from writing. For example, I host the big family Easter brunch, and as I've mentioned in a previous post, housekeeping is not my jam. So getting my abode in shape for entertaining left me with zero time for writing last weekend. But you know what? While I cleaned and cooked, I daydreamed about my story and worked out how to resolve some of the issues that've bugged me. Now I'm totally excited to get back to it. :)
I guess what I'm sayin' is---take time to smell the April flowers and soon you'll be raining words.

The only things I actually made were an egg casserole and fruit salad - and I glazed the ham, if that counts.
Wishing you all the best.

Hope all is well. Nice to see you're still alive. LOL....
Just wanted to say Hi, and PRE HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Only ten days away...right?
I also have breaks where I step away from my writing. Usually this happens during the summer when my daughter is out of school. (Also by necessity because she want to be constantly entertained.) Sometimes the break makes me appreciate the time I do get to write.
