The book project

Working on the book that I mentioned to you a few weeks ago. Had to can the idea of doing the Nanowrimo to write it since the idea of hurrying sort of defeats the purpose of writing it in the first place. The mindset is one of slowing down and savoring our work at home. If I scribble it down as an exercise in quantity over quality, then I miss the point, you know?

And also, I began the book on the computer, but find that it's more restful to write it in my notebooks---in pen. I noodle more and feel more relaxed. If I type on the keyboard, I'm more of a mind to feel rushed. Go figure.

Must go now (and I'm not in a hurry!). The kids and I are about to tackle this disjointed house and hopefully will end the day with a clean one. As a quote for today (not that there is one everyday), read this gem:

'I have often said that the sole cause of man’s unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.'~Blaise Pascal

Enjoy your day.
