Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts
Kathleen-613's creation for my blog

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: Tell us about your writing process – do you like music or quiet, is there a special place you go.

-----

I have too many entries on my writing in this blog. Just search write and writing and they abound. Besides, each project has a life of its own, which means each one is a different process.

I like soft, wordless music when I am reading, but I prefer absolute quiet when I am writing, which I can’t get. That shows why I haven’t written anything of importance for a long time.

What bugs me lately is that NaNo is on the horizon, and as much as I love it, I am not sure I’ll be able to do it this year. Too much real life, lately. But who knows? As doubt crosses my mind, I realize that my writing has been left uninhabited, like a haunted house and it scares me.

Feeling bewitched or ghosted, I can’t avert my attention from it, staring in disbelief at my fear and indecision, I am starting to notice the walls I erect around me. Maybe I’ll start the writing anyway or maybe I’ll finish the one unfinished novel from long ago. I so want to do this, but I worry that I’ll be conflicted whether I attempt it or not. I never had a NaNo project I didn’t finish by the end of November. What if I don’t finish it this time? So what?

I might as well attempt it once more, now that I have wheedled and persuaded myself while writing this entry. *Rolling*

As you see, here is the beginning of my writing process. The indecision, then persuasion. The rest? It depends. *Wink*
