Good to feel the juices flowing, even when the world is stopped.

Best of luck with it and it's good you are feeling more like yourself again.

If nothing else, this is a note to myself. It's been no secret that I got hung up working to a self-imposed deadline I just wasn't going to meet. I'll be close, but it won't happen on the date I had set in concrete some sixty days back. Instead, I've turned my imagination loose on this new story, 'The Interdimensional Man.' The keys started out slowly as I framed the story for the reader. As I started on the post I will make in the morning, my fingers began to pick up speed. Twenty-five minutes later, I had the first 800 words down.
I'll still don't know exactly the path that this story will take, but I know how it ends. My fingers will write the rest. Some of my favorite stories that I've written came about in this manner. In that span of time of where my conscious mind shuts down and the fingers and that magic spot in the brain kicks into play, my best stories begin to emerge. I start my music play list off with a song that fits the mood that I'll need to 'get there,' this time the lead song was 'Age' by Jim Croce. Croce is a good place for me to start when I'm looking to be nostalgic. I had a continuous loop of Croce songs when I was writing 'I Remember Judy.'
Oddly enough, as I wrote that, the song that I used to motivate myself as I was getting to the end and most emotional part of that story came up. 'Dreaming Again.' This isn't the best version of it, but you can hear the emotion in his voice as he sings it. Croce was a man who died far too soon.
See, I've drifted off while writing this, making it look like perhaps someone had spiked my Diet Coke. Instead of being upset with myself, I know that this is the sign I've been missing for months now. My conscious brain wants to 'sleep' and allow my more productive brain segment take over.
I've got a story to write. In case I miss you, I hope those who celebrate it have a wonderful Easter.
Talk soon.

I couldn't get "the opening salvo" link to work.
The opening is always very important and memorable, and is a drawing card for the rest of the story.

Re:
I'm feeling better physically. I'm working on feeling better emotionally by starting this new story. Once my brain gets occupied on a new project, some of my issues will work themselves out because I am writing something new.
As it says on my Twitter page: 'I write simply because there is a voice inside me that will not be still.'
