I haven’t signed up for those yet. I am a fan of “I should be writing” by Mur Lafferty.

Speaking of writing, do you ever feel bogged down if you haven’t done something in awhile? My legs ache if I don’t exercise enough (I’m strange, I know). It’s an internal ache if I don’t write for awhile.

There are still characters in my head. There are still plots rambling around, begging to be written. I just need to sit down and do it.

So, today, I’m outlining. It’s a good place to start, and if and when I get called away by a little girl who needs something, well, I might remember where I left off a bit better.

That’s the hope. I am a writer, so I need to write every day. This blog doesn’t count for much in that direction, but it is the most consistent project I’ve managed since she was born. And while I do it, or perhaps after, I’m going to listen to these podcasts and see if something sinks in.
