Some of you may recall my blog post from a while ago about how frustrated I was that I couldn't get into my writing groove.  The frustration was immense, almost to the point I wanted to cry and delete my already hard typed and written works.  Thankfully, I didn't and just as well.

All day yesterday, I was itching to get my laptop out and take a look at what I already had.  Having little monkeys around makes it hard to get into my 'work' during the day as, while I love having little helpers, this is my work and I'm going to be selfish about it.  Got that girls MINE!!!!!!!!!

By 9:30pm, all the youngest members of our troop were safely tucked up in bed and I could finally get my poor laptop out, not an easy thing to do.  There was a pile of my craft stuff on top not to mention 10 inches of dust!!!!  Ok, so a healthy coating of dust, which I believe is actually good for a long disused computer.  Don't ask me how, but apparently a thin layer of dust helps to protect against other damage like scratching and sun damage.

To the couch my laptop and I headed, along with my toolbag of writing.  Open lid, push on switch and yeah......um......had it really been that long since I last used this poor device?  That battery was completely flat!!!!!!!!  Just as well I have the charger, so Les plugged it in from his study and then I held my breath to see if the poor machine would explode.  Nope, booted first time with no worries, and continued to behave for the remainder of the night.

I found the files I wanted and got stuck in.  My novel is coming along nicely, and the section I worked on last night went from 3 pages to 7 pages!!!!!!  Wow!  OMG!!  I more than doubled what was already there!!!!!

Working on my book again felt so good, almost too good.  I didn't make it to bed until 3am!!!!!!!!  I was just having way too much fun 'working'!  And yes, my writing is my work.  Les wants that BMW, so I have to earn it for him, though he does more constructive writing than I do, go figure!

Now at 11:30 am, I am itching to get back to it!!!!!  Oh how mesmerized I was by my own words!  Hey, the writer has to get lost in their own work before they can expect a reader to.  Am I right?  I'm sure other writers will back me up on that one.

Any ways, the whole point is now I can't seem to stop!  I know I blog alot here, but this is different, it isn't a novel but a sharing of my life.  My book is another baby of mine, one that I have to watch grow and change under my direction, and the help of the Editor in Chief (Les), just as I have to watch my own girls grow too.

I think my writing groove is finally back, and while I will still keep touching base with you all, what I really want to be doing is relaxing on the couch pounding away on my laptop.  Yeah, I know, Minti will go in shock and ban me for life!
