Yesterday was a good day for writing.  I only wrote two pages, and about half of one page was dialogue, which I have always had a problem with.  But yesterday the words came smoothly, which was a nice surprise.  I feel like I could have easily written more than the two pages I turned out in about 20 minutes, but I want to keep the creativity fresh, and walked away when I found a decent stopping point.  I did make some notes to add to the story later.

I'm trying to write this entire thing on my netbook, which is another huge change from the way I normally write.  I have always written in a notebook, and transfered to a computer later, and perhaps that is where part of my problem has been; giving myself double to amount of work.  So I am trying to bypass my favorite step (I love writing and the simple act of writing on paper is very theraputic for me,) and go straight to the computer, which I am pleased to notice so far, has been relatively comfortable.  I think I will continue to make notes in a notebook with a pen and transfer them to the computer when I feel it's necessary.

Hopefully, my muse is as active tonight as she was last night :-)
