THE UPS AND DOWNS OF WRITING

Why is writing so ... so ... up and down.

One minute I am flooded with ideas and can't type fast enough -- UP!

And then days go by when I wonder why I even chose this profession -- DOWN!

Today I am giving my brain a day off. I need to prepare for a trip to Tampa. I will be there (alone) for three entire days and hope it is an UP moment.

I am enjoying writing a mystery story for a contest. What makes it so challenging is the word count. 900 words is all I can put into the story. It forces me to choose my words carefully. I need to fit in the twists with subtle verbiage.  Wish me luck!!
