But once I began laying out my ideas, I got great flow. Better yet, I had the perfect environment for creativity -- quiet house, no one home.
Over the last 4 mornings, I have sat down by 8:30 AM each day and have worked nonstop until after noon. The topic, word study, is something I've been wrestling with, and these long blocks of time gave me a lot of time to reflect, revise, and refine my thinking about it. The presentation was finished yesterday, and I was a proud mama.
Today, the revising began -- I went in and cut out parts, added others, and moved entire sections. I am happy with the final product. And now is when the crazy lady comes out to play -- I literally have to walk myself through the entire presentation multiple times which means I'm the lady alone in her house, talking to an imaginary audience. Thank heavens the humidity is so high all the windows are closed tight and nobody can hear me!!
As I shared in a comment on Katherine's post, now I'm on to #postwriting. I'm headed to the frig to see what celebratory food might be lurking in there!! After that snack of goodies, I'm going to do last minute errands since it's my husband's birthday today, and I still have a few things to do. And then I'm headed to #NeRdcampBC tomorrow to gather with some of my favorite #nerdybookclub friends and meet even more new ones - yippee!!
Other slices today can be found at Two Writing Teachers, Ruth and Stacey's blog, the blog that inspires us all to be here. Thanks so much to both of these wonderful women for providing us yet one more format in which to write! I hope they enjoy their July vacation!!
