that writerly feeling

I know I haven't blogged in eons. I think that'll be my usual thing now-days...I guess it is my usual thing...but I won't disappear completely.

This is just to say: do you ever feel so much like a writer that you're too excited to actually write?

I brought my revisions to my favorite coffee shop this afternoon. I've done a tiny bit of thinking on my agent's edit notes but today's the day for serious progress. I hope. Right now, though, I'm enjoying the slant of winter sun on my manuscript pages and the hum of the latte machine and the leaf swirl in my foam - so much that I had to snap a picture. Here it is.

  1. This is a beautiful picture. I love the swirl in the latte. :D

    Also, yes, sometimes I do feel like a writer. A good one at that and the times I do feel excited about being a writer are the best, because they make the bad times so much more worth it.

  2. Yes! Today I had to wake up early, so I was super hopped up on caffeine (more than usual) and enjoying editing my WIP so much so that I was almost too excited about it to concentrate on editing. :)

    Love the pic.

  3. Oh yes. I know that feeling! It's been happening quite a bit on my adventures to Panera; I find that I need to "fake write" for half an hour or so, enjoying the fact that I'm being so writerly, before I get caught up in it and actually make progress. Hah.

    Hope it went well today!

  4. you're so legit. if I was in that coffee shop, and you were a stranger, I'd totally creep on you and think you were cool and all official and writerly.
