A Psychological Observation

I noticed something today: When I am writing, really writing, I take better care of myself. It almost feels as if I subconsciously understand, or feel, I am doing something important and it makes me feel good. It makes me feel good I am writing. It makes me feel good about myself. I had never noticed that before. Does this make me truly weird? I'm sure people far more into pscyhology can look at this and say, "Oh, that's because you have this and this going on in your psyche." For myself, I am just glad I noticed it because it confirms deep down I am doing what I was meant to do - write and tell stories.

Otherwise on the writing front, I am seriously considering getting myself a journal to keep down notes and changes I'm making in the novel/story as well as the hours I put into it just so I can see everything that transpires. Perhaps, if it is published, it will help me with my taxes in the up-coming year. I tried a working journal once before, but that was a long time ago and I was a child. Could this be a viable thing to do? I'm thinking....

Today B (new name for Hubby) was working on the computer a little and so I just grabbed my notebook and began jotting down things that needed to happen for the story. It made me feel as if I was actually doing well on the process and am just going to transcribe what I have now onto the computer just as soon as possible. I need to do a little more research, hopefully today, and then I will delve back into writing just as soon as I can, which may be in just a few minutes or tomorrow. I'm thinking....
