I’m at the gym and it took a significant effort of will to drag my current book out of my locker. Outlining on “Space Heist” (I really need a better working title) is done and I’ve got a little over 3,000 words, but mostly stuff I pounded out on my iPhone before I did the outline. I really want to write on the go and get into some new territory.
But in wage slavery bosses give lip service to the “work/life balance”, I believe the same is important in writing. Ya just gotta read. Looking at nothing but your own words probably results in nothing but distilled caricatures, like the later seasons of a successful TV seasons.
So I’m gonna hit “publish” and get on this book. Space Heist can wait a little bit.
