Skyrim

I always feared games like this, as I feared it would derail my writing.  But out of desperation and a true need to get away from politics and all the awful going on these days, I decided to play Skyrim, which I always enjoyed watching my son play, and really - I was desperate for some distraction.

What I have found though is, to my surprise, I am writing more, and getting more ideas, and inspiration from this game than I ever could've fathomed.  I love love love LOVE it. 

Book is up to 148k.  There's been lots of working and reworking this section to get it right - I wrote all day last Sunday and actually ended up with less words than I started.  Crazy!

Now to bed.  Am very tired and kinda feel like a cold may be coming on, which ticks me. off.

I play World of Warcraft, and I discover that when I play more, I write more. So, I understand where you're coming from. I think it works for inspiration.

Congrats on all the progress.

Remember, I volunteer to beta read when you're ready!

I hope you're not getting sick. Sleep well.
