Even more writing

...well, I at least got down 700 words yesterday, which is a record. We're working on it, me and my inner muse. She is one to get distracted by other things, and I try to keep her focused with coffee. Mostly. I also try to keep her focused with reading...which might just be a little of...getting off track.

But well, have you ever read a book and just felt that it was just...right? That's how I feel about "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg (not Goldman). She lists just so many things, explains some, and tells us of how she works. Like for example.... a chapter in the book is called "Writing Is Not a McDonald's Hamburger". And she is perfectly right about that. Even though I am trying to do this, write so many words - I must really take in account that it might not be perfect. And I cannot worry that I am just at the beginning of my tale - cooking is slow, and you never know where you will end up. (At least not in my family where cooking is always experimenting, and seeing when you end up. We never have the same casserole twice, I can tell you that.)
