| Oak Island, NC. Alas, too cold for a swim, but we saw dolphins! |
I was on vacation.
I was spending quality time with the 'rents.
As my parents age, I feel an almost desperate drive to see as much of them as I can, to spend time with them. And that means sacrificing writing time.
As a writer, I struggle with abandoning my writing for 8 days, but as a daughter, I say, "Screw that, I can write day and night when I get home."
And that's the way it will be this week.
But there was an advantage to getting away from writing. I relaxed, did some fun things, shared secrets with my mom.... and resolved a plot issue for a rough draft I'm working on. I'd written it years ago and put is aside when I realized there was a plot issue- one that wound its way allllll through the book.
Now? Not a prob.
That's a vacation worth having.
Now I'm back to the grindstone. Plotting, planning, purging, and preparing.
Keep writing, or doing whatever your passion is,
Char
