A rare and welcome writing update

Something strange and wonderful happened today.

For the first time in many months I sat down and wrote. I decided to take another shot at a writing exercise I’d started on my now-moribund writing site. The story is called “Road Closed” and rather than picking up where I’d left off or polishing what I had already written, I just plain started over.

Four thousand words later I am pleased with how easily the words started flowing once I got rolling.

I’d like to thank Green Day and The Bee Gees for musical inspiration while I clacked away on my mechanical keyboard. Yes, punk and disco, back to back, just as nature intended.

My plan is to write every day and to wrap up this story before National Novel Writing Month begins in 18 days. I think I can pull this off.
