Time, Time, Time, Time

I have to be one of the most impatient people in the whole world. Okay a lot of exaggeration went into that sentence, but that’s how I feel so much of the time, especially with two boys under five.

So what does one do when so much of writing has to do with letting a manuscript sit so that ideas can evolve and mulling can take place? And I quote, “Time is your friend.”

When writing picture books or probably any book really. Write it and then put it away for a couple of weeks. Then take it out again and see how you feel. Okay, fair enough. I can put it away but what in the heck am I supposed to do in the mean time?

Write something else. Yes, I can understand that and I would love to as I have a few projects on the go. (I’ve discovered that I write how I read, a few books at a time.)

But going from one book to another, let along going from one age group to another or one genre to another is really quite brain boggling. 

So, I’m still in the learning process; learning how I write, how I work, how my brain functions (which is a bit of a worry sometimes).

Who knew all of this would crop up with a simple decision to write?
