Thank you for sharing pictures of the trail - the crisp blue sky with those wisps of cloud are beautiful.
I understand King's point about how it is important to write a novel quickly otherwise you can get bored. And how I wish that I could do this, or just with any of my writing! But I agree with you, momentum seems a more fitting way to describe the process. Life gets busy and respecting your limits is vital (linked to this, I have had an awful cold for what feels like months now, which has impacted work, fitness and my concentration! Anyway, I am not looking for sympathy or anything like that but I have had to shift my attention and priorities as a result. Hopefully, I can get back on a healthier path soon!).
I remember you mentioning that cold awhile back. I hope you feel better soon! I have to remind myself that King’s advice comes from a very different perspective. I understand and value it, certainly, but something tells me he isn’t juggling the same daily load as the average aspiring writer. Happy New Year, Sarah!
What a special opportunity to enjoy your family and a chance to relax in a rugged setting. Your descriptions make me want to follow along and do the same things. Love it!
Perfect analogy and the boredom bit is so true! This has been the most chaotic year of my "professional" writing life in terms of where I'm going and what I'm doing -- clarity coming and going as quick as a sharp turn on the trail and discovering a three pronged fork in your path. Except, oh wait, there's no map?
You're going to finish -- there's no doubt of it -- and we'll be here to celebrate when you do!!
I love you the way you describe clarity coming and going. It's so true. And there is definitely no map!😂 Thank you so much, Kristine, for reading and supporting. It helps so much. Onward!

Enjoyed reading about your desert observations! We're here, cheering you on as you continue to write your novel.
Thank you, Wendy ❤️❤️❤️
It looks like where I'm right now--New Mexico--until my move in the spring.
Thanks for reading, Olivia. I imagine New Mexico is a lovely place to winter. Where to in the spring?
