Days Off

I'm not a fan of cliches, however, there is one that crops up more often than I like: "When it rains it pours." The last few days have been hectic; unexpected company, a wedding, catching up with friends and then finding myself locked out of the house to name a few. This morning, I accidentally douse myself with hot water, and find I'm out of my favorite coffee...bad way to start a Monday (my least favorite day of the week). For the past four days I've had no time to write. Normally, that would stress me out, however, this time, I've enjoyed the break. I feel refreshed, which has allowed new ideas to flow and new characters to invite themselves into my novel, Hide and Seek. Tomorrow, I'll continue working through chapter five and introduce the first of the new characters. Much as time away from the computer has been a good thing, and a welcome break for my poor eyes, I must admit to feeling a little lost when I'm not writing. Glad to be back on track......
