Today I woke up before the alarm clock. Instead of hitting snooze, I got up and, while feeding cats and making coffee, mentally ran down my list of undone projects, debating which one I'd choose.
And then - the lightbulb moment.
I has a project I forgot to put on my weekend list, oops!
The project needed a little time to complete, one reason why I kept pushing it to a weekend. But I'd done that so often, the project finally fell off the schedule altogether.
I really couldn't delay it another week, especially since I'd promised to finish it.
Yes, it's a story.
Yes, it's a BryonySeries story.
And, yet, it's a story I was asked to write, not a story I simply decided to write. In fact, writing this particular story never occurred to me.
For me, as a writer, writing an assigned a story with a theme and then trying to figure it out how to connect it to the existing fictional world is challenging.
But I got it done this morning.
Yes, you will be able to, eventually, read it.
And now I'm waaaaaaaay behind.
Happy Monday!
