Writing Again

I'm still writing in my red positive color. That will be my signature for this year.

Today, I sat down at the computer and started back writing. I have really missed it and felt guilty because I did not write.

Since my mother's death, I have not been able to think well. I know part of it is the grieving process, and the stress that I was under for so long. Grieving is an on going process for some time more. I'm no longer guilty when I go to town and can spend time just browsing. The first time I went shopping after she died, I realized that I did not have to hurry back home and that was quiet a shock. For two years, I had hurried when I went out, so I could get back and my husband could do what he needed to do, or the sitter would not have to stay too long. Now, I can spend all day, if I want to.

This morning, I decided to write for six hours. I have two down and four to go. This should give me a good start to getting in the groove. Also, I am taking an online course Defeating Self-Defeating Behavior, and I have learned a lot so far. One of my goals is to write for six hours a day. I want to finish my novel by February 29, 2008. That is just to finish, not edit it. I know I can do it. Isn't that positive?

Have a wonderful day!
