I’m heading off to a writing retreat this morning — hoping to dive into a new novel project that’s been percolating for several months now. I was feeling a little anxious about the whole thing because it’s all been background and setting, very inchoate — but then this morning, one of my main protagonists snapped into focus, and I even know the first scene I want to write. A scene! A scene! So excite!
Heading to O’Hare now, have all the logistical things to do, AND I’m a little sleepy due to broken sleep last night due to the long to-do list in my head. But I’m going to try to set all that aside for the plane ride at least, and hopefully get actually started drafting this book. Wish me luck!
But oh, I do need to call my doctor and reschedule tomorrow’s appointment. Okay, security, phone call, board plane, then writing. Probably should squeeze breakfast in there too…
