Isn't it funny when you get into the zone? I mean, I hadn't written anything worth while since, um, NOVEMBER! Then, this morning, I sat down to work on something I had recently started and CLICK! I wanted to go for a walk but I literally couldn't pull my fingers from the keyboard. I had to eat lunch while I wrote and I could have cried when I had to leave for work. The zone, for me, is accompanied by this annoying voice that writes even when I cannot. My drive was full of me telling it to shut up for a bit, at least until I could get home.
Work has been a little trying lately. First of all, the warm weather makes me anxious to get outside. Secondly, I have managed to get myself in trouble twice this week! They were both honest mistakes and I tried to take the criticism in stride and use it to improve my work (Does this sound like writing?) but the person who has been critiquing me lacks that, um, kindness. It is one thing to say, "I noticed this. Could you work on that?" and another to say, "RACHAEL! You did this WRONG!" The worst part is that she is this way with everyone and I pretty much just have to deal with it.
But those are two very important things to learn when it comes to writing: How to give and receive criticism.
