Some Decent Writing

I was pleasantly surprised that I actually had the time to get some writing done last week. It was mainly rewriting of existing drafts, but it was comforting to be productive at the keyboard again. I had the opportunity in the last couple of weeks to talk to a few people one-on-one about what might be causing the lack of productivity in writing that has been in place for the last few weeks and months, and I suspect that things will be improving in the future.

I wanted to avoid going back to some of my more recent drafts, as I feared what sort of writing they would contain. Although any writing is good writing, I was harbouring a deep-seated fear that it was going to be very substandard and poorly constructed -- not the sort of material I needed to be reviewing and working on to bring my confidence back up.

Fortunately, as I worked my way through the drafts, it was not anywhere near as bad as I had been worried about. There were a couple of my normal writing elements that were missing, but that’s easy enough to miss when you don’t get much written for a long period of time.

I don’t know how much time I’ll have this coming week, but I will do whatever I can to make sure I at least get the opportunity to sit down and try to write.
