Milestone

Tonight I opened up my novel rewrite file on the computer for the first time in five months--to the day exactly, I see now. One month of that time, of course, I was writing my NaNoWriMo project, but for the rest of it--well, my mind just hasn't been in writing mode. I've been trying to get back there, but it's proven a very slippery thing to grasp.

But now I really want to get this project finished. First thing will have to be to print it out and read it as it stands now. That's the only way to get it all back in my head and figure out where I left off. A big undertaking. But it feels good to have made a first tiny step in that direction.

Heh. It's obviously been a loooong time. My husband just walked past the door of my office and heard the keyboard clicking and said, "You're writing?" in a surprised voice. Ouch. But at least I could say I'd opened the file. :)
