Oh boy, Peg, I can relate, although, yesterday finally felt shifted; I worked all day on writing instead of playing at other things and I have no idea what trigger that!

I seem to write better and easier, if I am online, too, as hesperis has noted. I've even thought about starting a thread, writing what I wanted to get down, then copying and pasting THAT to my WP, and never hitting the submit button for the thread! There is something about the Mudcat which is very stimulating for me, as a writer.

Considering your rental situation, maybe you are being a little tough on yourself right now? I would find it difficult to be motivated in the light of such unsettledness. I'll bet you'll have an easier time of it once that gets sorted. It is really fantastic that you were asked to do this project and the screenplay sounds exciting, too!

That writing to a favourite aunt is a good ploy. One of my favourite books is Letters of A Woman Homesteader, a collection of actual letters, so well written. Oftentimes, I will try to write as though to a friend or relative and that seems to help.

Keep us posted, please? Those are really exciting!
