The Perfect Writing Moment

Sadly doesn't exist.
For years, I have been waiting for a moment. Where in my perfectly crafted office/reading space, I would be able to sip wine and create a beautifully written romance novel. I imagined in that space everything would come together and the words would flow from my fingers. I imagined that I could find amazing amounts of time just to write. I dreamed of a space of light and comfort. I dreamed of somewhere I could never not be uncomfortable. I dreamed of a space where people would just leave me alone to write. I dreamed of all of these things.

And guess how much I wrote? Not enough to be called a novelist or a real writer. I was a hobbyist who wrote only when the mood struck me. I had never realized that until a few years ago when I attempted National Novel Writing Month. You learn a lot when you challenge yourself and push yourself to write every day no matter what. You're no longer waiting for the perfect moment. You are just looking for space to spend some time writing --whether it is at the kitchen table, on your bed, or on the sofa or even at a coffee shop.

So I challenge you as I write again this month with a goal in mind. Not a perfect moment but a word goal.... Good luck to you... And to myself and hopefully we will create together...
