With a fistful of notes and list of stories, I cross the threshold into the weekend. I've happily embarked upon a freelance writing assignment for a local magazine which means writing lots and lots of words between now and 20 October. It also means some more pocket money for my Argentina trip in November, not to mention the glee of seeing my name in print and adding another story or two to my list of published pieces!
I've spent the last week coming home from work, taking Arthur for a stroll around the block, pouring a splash of tinto and settling in to do an hour or two of writing. It hasn't been a drag at all. I've loved the chatting to people in the community, knowing what is coming up and happening around town, and especially the writing process. The writing process with a destination in mind seems much more fruitful. Writing with a purpose. So often I'd sit at my desk, fingers poised over my keypad, waiting for the genius to start gushing onto the blankness on the screen.
I have four stories to write this weekend, then another four next week. Completely achievable!
