Some More Perspective
PERSPECTIVE
I have really been chewing lately on the reason why so many great writers are suddenly just stopping, quitting, walking away. Today a writer friend of mine came up with one possible cause. Above in topic of the night.

THE DAY
Made it to the WMG offices around 2 p.m. and worked there until four p.m. and then went for a walk with two other professional writers. Yes, not back completely on energy, but enough to start exercising again. Felt good.
Home to work on e-mail, then the workshop assignments, then I cooked dinner and watched some television and then took a long nap. Then more television.
Finally back in here around midnight. I worked on a couple of things first, then moved over to my writing computer and managed 1,050 words on the novel. Slow, slow restart.
