This is how I write

So this morning, I was staring at the computer and thinking, Hey it’s time to write.

But I didn’t want to, not yet, and I told myself I was doing pretty good to even be thinking about it on time. So I went back to staring at the computer.

And then I thought, You know you could be staring at your story.

So I stared at the story.

And I didn’t want to work on it, but I started my timer.

Then I poked at the story a little bit.

And the passage I wanted to fix was still rocky.

So I poked at it.

And the passage flowed better.

So I kept moving, and started thinking about whether my heroine would really be that rash and yes she is, so I managed not to make a major change after all, and then I looked for the next fix to do and took care of that and then the bell rang and time was up.

And I thought, There now, that wasn’t so bad.
