Manic Monday - Stretching the Muscle 06/27/2011
Although the sun is shining and the birds are singing on this cold winter day, I’m still feeling the blues. Perhaps it is because the mundane chores of life become more pronounced when your fingers are numb. So, therein, lies melancholy. To be manic, as it is Monday, is substantially harder to do with a frost. Yet it has become the perfect environment for writing. Rewriting to be exact, I’m still going, even though I thought I may not, and I’m halfway in and enjoying the process. Is it better? Probably in patches but I’m practicing which I hope counts for something. This has me thinking of it being like a muscle. I’ve heard it said that you should write every day to keep it toned, but I find this concept hard to follow because when I force it, its bollocks and I feel dejected and ditch the project. So do I need to stretch it? I think I should push myself more often and work at it. Although I wonder whether it is more about style and less about execution but that is a discussion that I tend to avoid. I sit on the fence there. Still the question remains, should we use the muscle before it withers away and the ability to use it is lost forever. I don’t know. I go long periods where I don’t write anything but an occasional blog post or review. Then I could feel charged and away I go again doing it all at once. Today became one of those days. So manically I rewrite a few chapters and feel good about the exercise... if only I didn’t really have to read it AGAIN! This is probably why I jump around works like the energiser bunny...
