This has been a good day. I begin earlier today with a focus on the writing process and/or getting started. Yes, I have begin the process of writing my manuscript and now I need help in keeping the writing process going. There are distractions that come in all forms to get you off track. R.L. talks about getting ideas from things you see and hear everyday. He gives an example of a mother and child interacting and based on what the child says to mom he comes up with an idea for a book. As a professional human services worker I am listening to people talk about their problems, concerns and issues everyday; also I am reading research journals everyday about things I am hearing and writing about. I think what keeps me going is I want to see something done about the problems people are experiencing. This, I am sure, hearing about problems and issues on a daily basis should keep the writing flowing.
