Now that I am trying to be more regimented about my sabbatical writing, I sat down and wrote out a few things, long hand, in a notebook.
Later, I discovered a few stories I had written last summer, and I "fell in a hole" by which I mean I read them and that took some time.
But then, then!, I started a new story with these same characters and I wrote quite a bit on that.
All this to say that I should be/want to work on my non-fiction project, but I find it much easier to work on the novel, because I can just write whatever.
But! part of my research was looking up hit songs from my past, and so I give you this list:
Dancing Queen, ABBA
Grease
My Sharona,The Knack
TUSK, Fleetwood Mac
Jessie's Girl, Rick Springfield
Jack & Diane, John Cougar
Missing You, John Waite
Careless Whisper, Wham!
Broken Wings, Mr. Mister
I look forward to see what writing might be inspired by this titles....

This list is just what I needed today. And yay you for being regimented. And yay you for falling into that hole.
I spent last summer in the half-constructed playhouse Ken Cannon is making for our granddaughters and wrote a ton in longhand. It was great. It got me away from the computer, which allows me to distract myself when things get hard.
Well done, Dr. Write.
Yes, I would love to do more writing by hand. Need to cultivate that habit!
