ALREADY A WINNER

[irish-injun.livejournal.com]

My word count isn't where I was hoping it would be, but the book I am writing is a delight to me.  I am doing all sorts of little things that cause me joy as a  result of this adventure.

I have been using my laptop for months, and rarely used my desktop computer at all, since it's not hooked up to the Internet. Today I saved things to a flash drive and transferred them to the desktop computer, and sat there for a time adding to my novel. I like this novel so much I have saved it to the flash drive, in email and on both computer hard drives.

My word count is behind, but not so much so that I can't catch up. I would really like to "win" nano, but if I don't, I have won already!

There are people around me now who, having seen what I have written, take me more seriously as a writer.
I have met many new younger people and enjoyed sharing energy with them.
I appreciate my time more, and see how much  actually do in a day.
My emotions are freeing up as I go from one character to another.
I am putting even more order and respect into my personal life. (There was a lot there already, so this is an added bonus that I am thrilled about.)

I am wondering....are others experiencing positive things as a result of entering this shared experience?
What's it doing for you?

Plans never seem to work for me, but I do prioritize my time better. I chuckle about procrastinating. Other things that I delayed doing don't look as bad and I do them when I am stalling about writing! LOL!! Hey! Whatever works. I don't care what my motive is when I get something done that I have been really wanting to do.
