The owner of the cottage is recuperating at home. Things are looking up for him, but he needs at least three more weeks before even considering that he head to Florida. I’ve told him that what is most important is his healing, and that of course the best place to do that is in his own home.
Right now I’m thinking that I’ll make it up there after the first of year. Fine with me. I have a full calendar of December plans.
So what to do about my writing? Originally I had it in my head that I would begin anew after settling in up there—which would be NOW or at least the week after Thanksgiving—which would be next week. Regardless, I’ll have to take a week off in the middle of the month for a ‘sisters’ trip’ to DC. And then there is Christmas and New Year’s week, and before I know it, it is January and I’m at the cottage.
What amuses me is that as far as writing is concerned, only the venue has changed. At the moment I have NO idea how it will all play out. Will I immerse myself in writing for a week and then take the rest of the year off, or will I wait? The one thing I am certain of is that once I begin, I have to keep at it. That’s the way it was when I wrote the books for teachers; it’s all I thought about, all I did.
This isn't writer's block. All I need to do is decide when I want to start--and then begin.
