So no words written on the WIP this weekend. But I do have my reasons, although some might call them excuses, I'm giving myself a pass. Saturday was my 32nd birthday and I had a fantastic lunch at one of my favorite resturants. Amazing food and with the hubby there to offer his generally witty conversation topics it was a great time.
After lunch, we headed over to my appointment to get LASIK eye surgery. Yep. On my birthday. I didn't intentially plan it this way, it just so happened it was the best day for me to do it. Happy Birthday To Me!
What this meant though was that my vision wouldn't allow me to work on the computer or read. In fact, today is the first day I can spend anytime online. So you would think it was a total waste of a weekend for writing right?
No way! I totally let my imagination take over and walk me through the rest of the story I have to write, and I even brainstormed a little on a story idea I have for a novella. Somehow, I even managed to write down some notes on each but we'll see how readable those are later this week!
Do you brainstorm when you can't actually sit and do your writing? Is what you come up with useful later or do you find that you really needed to have your computer with you to really get down the right notes?
Congrats on the successful surgery. I've considered it but have to admit it scares me too much! So I admire you for doing it.
ReplyDeleteI brainstorm all the time, even when I don't mean to. LOL And I think sometimes it's better to do it without the laptop or notepad around. It can be a little more playful and uninhibited when we're "off the record". :)
I love that "Off the record" comment Donna. It's so true for me!
