Write Anyway - When life gets in the way

by Teri

Sometimes my life gets in the way of my writing. Time slips away - projects take longer than expected, phone calls interrupt, family and friends require care and feeding - and somehow days go by without spending any time on what I love (and sometimes hate): writing.

That is what happened to me this weekend. Mentally, I composed my lists (one for beauty, one for ugly) from the writing prompt for the weekend, but I never managed to get online to post them.

But in the famous words of Dr. Phil: That’s O.K. (He wasn’t talking about writing, but it applies.)

And it is ok to walk away from writing for a while and live life. I hadn’t planned to walk away, but I did. And I’m glad I did, even though getting back in the habit of writing every day will be difficult. So I’m behind a little on my writing “assignments.” So what? There’s nothing like a little pressure and a deadline to get the creative muses fired up again, right?

I’ll post my lists tomorrow and get back on track with writing prompts for this week. I hope you had a great weekend - and unlike me, found the time to Write Anyway!
