The Big Day
Although I got off-track with my projects, I am getting back in gear. Today is the day that The Quasiverse Today gets the attention and progress that I shamefully did not give it over the weekend …
I also know that I should buckle down and write whether or not I feel like it, whether or not the story is willing to unfold. But, I don’t. If I don’t feel it, I just can’t bring myself to thump the keys simply for the sake of word count. It comes down to a sense that I can’t abuse the trust of the characters that are willing to share their stories with me. If they aren’t helping me, whatever I write is a lie, and if I lie about them or their adventures, then they have every right to cut me off and leave me uninspired and frustrated.
It is at times a very fragile relationship, but one I am willing to do my best to keep healthy, vital, and productive. And so far, when I have been true to them, they have been true to me: the proof is in the appreciative comments I get about the work when it is shared.
So, let’s roll …
