Enjoy What You’ve Got

by Holly Dodson

So, as I’m writing this, it is currently Tuesday afternoon and I am *cough*still at work*cough*.

I’ve been working on this presentation for my boss All Day Long (among other things, naturally) and my eyes are starting to cross.

It’s fun stuff, I tell ya.

My first reaction to the eye-crossing is to glance out the window.  And…*sigh*

The sunshine and blue sky is enticing, yeah?

 

I can’t help but think now that all I want is to go sit out in that beautiful sunshine and write.  I’ve reached that place again where my head is full of story, and it’s so very close to being ready to be smeared across the page, and I just can’t wait.

Still, there are other things to attend to first.  You know, like finishing up revisions, life, job, Super Spawn.  All that.

But all I want to do is drown in a vat of words.  I want to sink in until they cover my head and block out the rest of the world, even if only for a while.

It’s great to be a writer, isn’t it?  I try to keep reminding myself just how much I love this.  Just how much each part of this process makes me happy.  Don’t hurry, don’t rush, just enjoy the moment.  That’s what I’m doing today.

I love writing, and I’m loving every moment of this journey.

Tell me, how are you feeling about writing today?
