February Sidles Out

As February sidles towards its end, I am in a very musing kind of mood. I just turned up at one of my daily Time to Write meetings – the evening one – and we all decided to do what we call “faffing”, which is code for not writing at all but doing something else that gives us some relief from that. It might be reading, making lists, updating spreadsheets, stroking the cat – anything. But I am sure we all do it with words and characters floating around our heads. And if we shut even those thoughts out, we will have earned the peace and quiet and the shift of focus.

I’ve done a lot of submitting since the beginning of the year, and today I feel weary. That’s okay. That’s what Time to Write is for – it’s a safe place where our little group can get together and be writers in all the forms being a writer takes. 

If you would love to join a twice-daily group (you just come to as many or as few of the sessions as you like) then click on MORE/COURSES AND EVENTS in the menu at the top of the page here and see what we are all about. You will also find lots of other ways in which you can start a process of improving your writing life. I would be thrilled to welcome you.

Before I stop here… tell me, do you only write when you are inspired, or do you try to do something – anything – regardless of whether you are feeling it or not? I would be really interested in finding out. Drop a comment here.

Have a great weekend!
