Today I felt more alert and excited to get to work. I popped up early and was at the dining room table with a print out of the intro working by 8:30am! With a mug of peppermint tea I somehow felt more empowered with the writing and the revising than usual. As I lingered over sentences seeing the intro get much stronger, I keep thinking as long as I get in 1-2 hours a day of writing that will give a nice weekly total. Gotta get that writing not only into my life but a central part!!! Then the bell went off and an email came through with copyedits for another essay I finished a month and 1/2 ago. Alas, the work never ceases. Amidst all of this, I have one more speech to give on campus tomorrow and then I am officially free of these obligatory campus/service duties until Fall 2014..... This being the second day of my sabbatical, my reward was another bike ride AND a free blues concert!
WRITE - EVERY - DAY!! Everyone knows it and yet we come up with countless creative excuses on why we can't or why we don't have time. Outside of desired goals, lingering deadlines, and sage advice, what does an actual writing groove look like!?!?! Over the next year I am on a blogging quest to find that out.

Got to Get Some Writing Into My Life!
Today I felt more alert and excited to get to work. I popped up early and was at the dining room table with a print out of the intro working by 8:30am!

Gotta get that writing not only into my life but a central part!!! Then the bell went off and an email came through with copyedits for another essay I finished a month and 1/2 ago.
