It feels so good to plug along on this project. 520 words written today. I’m not the kind of writer to get carried away in a whoosh of words and ideas. Not anymore, anyway. I’ve done that in the past and then had to deal with the aftermath of tangents and characters speaking/acting in less than thoughtful terms. I don’t mean I censor my characters but I have to move slowly while getting to know them so I don’t create a story that isn’t true to them. We’re all getting to know each other right now and I don’t want to rush to judgment.

Unfortunately, I now have this in my head. Everybody sing………..

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven’t you noticed
Suddenly I’m bright and breezy?
Because of all the beauty and new
Things I’m learning about you
Day by day.

Scary,isn’t it?
