From concept to completion, we nurture our work – again, let
me bring in the fire analogy. Without constant feeding and stirring,
rearranging the logs and the slight embers, the fire will die and you’ll be out
in the cold.
I’m an organic writer. Translation: I have at least three
books going at all times. I’ve been curious how other writers find their
rhythm. Do you awaken to coffee and classical music and dive into the pool head
first or feet first? How about the dreaded belly flop? Ever had one of those? I
have, literally and figuratively.
Right now, I have about fifteen irons in the fire, all of them
being furiously jostled and jangled in an effort to keep the fire from going
out. The motion is dizzying, the sparks are flying all around me, albeit often
uncontrollably. Yet I keep the stirring the fire – somehow.
