Spontaneity

I have been writing all afternoon. Having that dream yesterday somehow lit a fire underneath me. I am really liking this character I have been focusing on lately. Her name is Jessica and she isn't in the little excerpt I posted the other day. She is Laura's first cousin and she is a senior in high school. She is falling in love with the most popular boy in school and I am just in love with their little story! Of course, I know a huge problem is about to arise with their relationship...

It is strange to me how spontaneous I am about writing. For the most part, I am very regimented in everything I do. I like schedules and lists and plans. I do things the same way at the same time every day. This is normally how I thrive. But with creative writing, it just cannot be planned. I can plan certain aspects of writing, like character names and plot lines, but the actual writing has to come when I am inspired, which is not everyday. Maybe it will get easier as I write more. And I guess the more I have written, the more I will have to inspire me.

Okay, work is now over because my little one has just woken up from her nap. Maybe I can get in some more writing before the end of the day.
