Getting back into a writing rhythm is hard, especially if you feel like you've gone years without writing at all! I find myself writing, rewriting, deleting and starting the whole process over and over again. I am doubting myself, constantly, which makes me anxious and almost ready to give up. But I haven't.
It's also really exciting, to feel so focused on this now, at this moment, that even all that doubt and false starts haven't made me stop. Strangely enough, I'm taking a different direction this time with my writing and it feels right. So, I just will keep pushing myself.
It's also strange how much of the story I hear in my head, all day long. It's like the story is writing itself, first telling itself to me, revisions included, and pushing me to write it. So maybe, this time, I'll keep my focus and see it through. I truly hope so.
