It’s nice to get into a writing groove.
There are lots of phrases for it these days. “The Groove” is an old one, but it still checks out. “The Zone” or “The Flow” are all equally good, in my humble opinion, and I’m sure there are dozens of newer, hipper, better terms for the same basic idea: when you sit down to do a thing, and you kinda forget about everything else because you are doing this one thing and gosh if you aren’t doing it well.
I’m in that mode right now with the novel. I had hit a pretty major stumbling block a few months back so I took a step back and then came running at it full steam. The progress since I decided to do that has been lovely… I’m a man of numbers, as I think I’ve mentioned in the past, and I like seeing those numbers go up.
Who knows how long it will last. I’m back in school in… a week? So that’s going to put a damper on it, probably. But that still gives me a bunch of time, and I should probably make the most of it.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
