Write. Write! Write?

Do you write every day? The truth!

I was raised in a military family – yeah, yeah, yeah, I know-- I’m a military brat, and rule follower. My brothers and I were given “the rules” for good behavior in the womb. These dictates were never, EVER to be broken--EVER. My father’s career depended on it. Did we walk the straight and narrow? You bet. Well, I did – my brothers?—well that’s another story.

Now, it the business of becoming an author, I was given this unbreakable rule: Write – EVERYDAY.

As you can see – I haven’t written in my blog for three days. When I open my front door in the morning I peek out, exit quietly and tiptoe down the stairs. I feel them. They’re there - just around the corner—my knees shake in fear that the writing police will arrest me for breaking this steadfast decree.

I’m ready with my alibi. “Okay, okay, so I don’t write for hours each day, but, I think everyday. Does that count? I corner my muse everyday. Does this count? I observe human behavior everyday. Does this count? To me, yes.

So, how about you? Do you write every day? If not, can you give me some good excuses in case, (just in case) I encounter the writing police on my way to the grocery store?

BTW: I did write yesterday. I queried another agent – an e-query. Hopefully I won’t get

e-jected this time.

And to my beautiful daughter - Happy Birthday!!!  I love you.
