I love it when the writing is going well. Most of us do.<\/p>\n
For me, I love getting past the first draft drudge and moving into the fun part– once the pieces are basically in place, and I can begin to customize the language and let my writing flower, beefing up descriptions and polishing my slang.<\/p>\n
It sounds strange, but I NEED my day job to be productive. When I’m at home, I’m terrible about finding excuses– I need to clean the house, I want to work in my garden, I have home improvement projects I need to finish… but when I’m at work, I have around an hour in the morning and an hour at noon that FORCE me to be productive. Bit by bit, the novel expands, and the detail gets polished.<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to visiting Los Angeles again in September, where I can do more research to tweak certain scenes.<\/p>\n
