Madeleine in Studio and Writing Is Still Hard

I am in my studio right now, readers!

You know how you always think, well, if I just do this one thing, then X will be so easy?

As in, if I just had a place to go and write, a place separate from my home, a room of my own in a building near my apartment, then I would go there and write and do nothing else and I would get so much done!

Well it doesn't always work that way--at least at first.

Today, my fourth day here, I finally refocussed on Story #2 and wrote. (I am spelling "refocused" wrong. Both ways, one or two esses, are wrong, according to my computer. Esses is also wrong.) But it is daunting! Even with my quick, loose draft in hand, I feel like I am starting all over again. So I stopped writing it to write this post to keep my fears, my anxieties, my self-criticalities (Sarah Palin says that's a word) from getting out of control.

I will let you know next post, readers, if this worked.
