writing

[redbird]

I seem to be making a patchwork quilt. Lots of bits, and I'll fit them together later.

The weird part isn't that--for all I know, that's how everyone writes novels. The weird part is jumping out of bed to grab paper and pen, because I've thought of something for the novel after I turned the computer and the lights off. The weird part is waking up thinking of the novel.

I don't know if it's going to be any good, but it's going to be.

I find myself thinking about my book constantly, and always have something to jot down ideas and notes with. Last week in Switzerland I woke up in the middle of the night, and turned my computer on in the bathroom--so as not to wake Karen--so I could write a longish bit that finally came to me.
