"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” - Emerson

Writing vs. Snow

Last week we reached a record for snow fall here in Texas. My diving board held around eight inches if not more. It was a beautiful sight here at my house. For Texas, this was considered practically snowed in.
Perfect time for hard core writing, right? I wish.
I carried my laptop around with me for three solid days only to revise three pages. Story flow seem to have had clog because I stared at the same paragraph for four days moving no farther. I took Valentine's Day off from any sort of writing thoughts.(I would have written even on Valentines if I would have had something to write.) Then come Monday night when I have to get up early for work the next morning, my mental Drano kicked in and I moved right along getting as far as I possibly could until my husband reminded me that it was a work night and I should call it a night. I work two and a half days a week, why couldn't the words pour out of me on any of the previous five days?
Oh well, though it was bad timing, I did manage to get through a difficult spot. That makes it all worth it in the end.
