Writing Again
I’m happy to be writing again. Yes, I know I’ve said this many times before, but this time – and I know I’ve said that many times before too – I know that I’m back on track. I have life organised, so before it throws me any more curve balls, I’m writing as fast as I can. Fast and furious. Because I’ve realised that when we are getting a work done, any writing will do. Any writing on a longer piece of work is worth doing, and we had best simply write it and censor later, edit later, later… First, write. In so deciding, the path clears a way forward.
So that is what I am doing. And feeling happy about it too. I am so reassured that the lessons I have previously taken on board about the way I write, appear to be holding true for each successive piece that I set myself.
But there is another agenda going on, which is that the third book in my fiction series will not be my last piece of substantial writing. I also want to get on with a stage play for Trapped which I was prompted to start some years ago by a series of dreams. So, as I sometimes do, I put down the introductory scenes which I have left until now. I was re-reading them lately, thinking – as we sometimes do after a long break – “This is surprisingly good…!” which means, I have to get on with that soon.
I work best when I have an end in view. Which, perhaps rather unusually in this case, is to make space for a stage play.
Thanks for reading.

All the best for writing a stage play for Trapped. How exciting and all the best with it. What a dream to see your life on stage and good on you for following through with the dreams you have had. I am sure you are being told to write it.

Thank you! It is quite an adventure, isn’t it?! I have no idea where the impulse originates, but I’ve learned it’s easier to work with it than try to ignore it. And yes, if it ends up being shown on stage – who knows? – that would be beyond thrilling. We shall see. Wow, what a dream that would be. ((xx)) Thank you for understanding.
