Getting Sucked In

I wrote a good lick today.

Before that I had to research what one character had said about a weird thing going on in their mind. (possession)

At first I didn’t find the passage I was looking for; rather, I started reading and got sucked into five chapters before I found the information I needed.

It’s a very good sign when your own writing no longer repulses you and entertains. 🙂

I’m sharing not to show off, but because the other, less-than-splendid moments in the writing process can be much more common. I’ve been advised by a more experienced writer to share my successes as often as possible. It’s supposed to be good for the soul.
