Bonjour et Bienvenu! Today I started my work day with
this post. I am now in the foothills of the Pyrenees, with a lovely view and no
noise! I’ve been in larger towns for the last three weeks or so, and appreciate
the quietness of the countryside. Spring is coming. Birds are singing morning
and evening, and there are plenty of places to walk or ride a bike here. Another
form of paradise for me, because I am not a JK Rowlings. I have a hard time
writing with lots of noise, music or interruptions.
Many things have transpired to create a non-writing place
over the last two weeks, and this past weekend I felt almost at the end of my
tether. In spite of that, I have managed to make progress, though not much. I’ve
been in Mane (the name of the small town where I am right now) since Sunday night and
Monday I wrote for six hours. I hope to do the same today. I’m inspired by my
hosts to do my best. They work hard and make each day count. They “kidnapped”
me on Sunday for a lovely lunch with a special friend, then drove me to the
mountains, offering me a quiet place and the run of their home. When they come
home in the evening I am happy to see them and to help out as much as I can. They
have a lovely 4-soon-to-be-5-year-old, whom I have loved since she was born.
My husband comes to join me in 8 days! After two months
apart, needless to say I’m looking forward to seeing him. No insecurities for
the moment (fingers crossed). I’m too busy writing and “being” in the moment. I
hope whatever you are doing, the same goes for you. Au revoir…
March 7th question: How do you celebrate when you achieve a writing goal/finish a story?
If I've finished a story, I take time off to let it all sink in before sending it to Beta readers.
If I've achieved a writing goal, I sit with it awhile, and then move on the next one... For either one, champagne is always in the picture!
Please visit and thank the awesome co-hosts for March:
