A task of discovery

I am usually a very analytical minded person. So, I make lists and plan. This weekend I am off four days in a row from my day job. Instead of checking things off my to-do list I am hiding out in my office and writing as much as I can. I am working on a novel. It is semi-autobiographical, and I can’t tell you what it is about exactly. Because well I am not sure I know. I started it over ten years ago and at the moment I going back through all my notes to deepen what I already began.

I started it over ten years ago, and at the moment I am going back through all my notes to deepen what I had.

I want a good solid draft from beginning to end, so I don’t have a deadline at the moment. Right now I am relishing the freedom to see where it takes me and enjoying the challenge.

For those that do not know me personally, I see myself as very socially awkward. I am much more at home in front of a project, alone. Even marketing is taking a back seat for now.

Knitting?

For right now I am only working on knitting projects that for me to work on while thinking. So charted, or more challenging projects are not a priority. Garter stitch is truly my friend. Expect to see some basic shawls and scarfs by the end of the year.

Other projects?

In the last few days, I dug out all of my older nonfiction ebooks. The ones I have been saying need rewritten for several years now? I have each one ready to proof and comb through. The analytical side of me has time set aside for just that type of work. But for today….I am relishing in the process of discovery.
