... I didn't think I was ever going to get that done; I miss writing not being a process of pressing water from a stone.
But oh my god you guys, I might bitch about my father sometimes, but when he's good he's wonderful - he sat with me through a prose-style workthrough for over an hour last night, and oh my god I didn't realize how much I missed being taught by someone I trust. And I didn't realize how much of my own 1-on-1 teaching patter was borrowed wholesale from him! It just seemed like the way to do things, but I totally replicating the way he taught me when I was first learning how to really write.
After that session, I think writing might get a little more fluid for me again. I hope so. I want to hang on to the way I'm feeling right now.
Anyway, now it's thunderstorming in Indiana - my cats just ran in looking super bedraggled - and I'm off to curl up with one of my favorite things: Joss Whedon's commentary track on Serenity.
