Looking Forward (to finding the rabbit hole again)

Feeling a little Spoon-y today. Scoll down in the player and check out "Something To Look Forward To." Good old Brit Daniels-- "Your mistakes, Your merciless eye, Your Chicago Manual (oh) of Style..."

Wrote yesterday, pretty much all day, but frustratingly missed the rabbit hole. I haven't been good about making sure I'm writing every single day come hell or high water or being swamped with other art "biz." When you get taken out of your story world that's what happens. So probably ninety percent of what happened yesterday will go into the "Cuts" folder, or get revised beyond all recognition, but that's ok. It's all process (and penance).

Good John LeCarre quote today on the Writers on Writing podcast (See literary links)
"The cat sat on his mat is not a story. The cat sat on someone else's mat is."
