This is not about one of those days. This is about the no good, horrible, very bad writing day. And if I'm being perfectly honest, there's been more than one. In a row. A whole string of stinkin'-up-the-joint writing days.
Rejections? I've had a few. Flagged articles? One or two. A column that completely got left out of the magazine? Been there, done that. I could go on about the NGVBHWD, but I think you get the picture. It's not pretty.
But I woke up this
morning feeling kinda "Tara-ish" and decided to put on my Scarlett britches. You know the ones...the "I can't worry about that today. I'll worry about that tomorrow. Tomorrow's another day," britches. And you know what? Little by little my day changed.My flagged articles were unflagged. I signed up my services for a virtual writing conference (more on that later). And an old friend sent me the most wonderful, made-me-smile, writing comment on Facebook. Just like that, I felt a little zing come back to my writing.
Which is kinda the point here today. You're not always going to feel like writing. But sometimes, if you put on your Scarlett britches, you can push through the no good, very bad, horrible writing days.
I'll send those rejected stories somewhere else tomorrow. Tomorrow's another day.
