Life gets in the way

I haven't written for the last nine days as I was too busy celebrating a friend getting her phd, so today I have spent most of the day reading through what I have written. It's a good process. Best of all I am reasonably happy with two of the chapters I had been working hard on before the celebrations began. It makes me nervous when I haven't written for a while. You lose focus and your stream of thought - your voice disappears and it takes time to get it back. Next month I am planning to get some chapters to the publishers so really need to get my focus back. I am also going to get some of the background material I need from NZ as my memory is fading. It's easy to remember the big stories (you know, funny, sad, bad, mad) but not so easy to get the dates and times right and I know there are some things I have forgotten..........
