“When are you going to start writing again?” a friend asked me a few weeks ago. The question didn’t catch me by surprise since I am well aware I’ve been neglecting my written creations for the past few years. But, I have the feeling I’m in the process of waking from my writing coma.
My many half-finished works gave up on me and I fear they are on the edge of a coup. I strongly suspect they are the ones who killed my laptop in an effort to get my attention.
It worked. I’ve opened a few documents and started editing. In a strange twist, I found five partially written manuscripts and, when combined, these five made two complete novels.
I’m thinking about my short stories. Since shorts are my strong point, I need to heed the advice I was given three years ago and combine them into a collection.
The sleeping dragonfly is waking up. Excuse me while I dive headfirst into these mischievous manuscripts.
