From flow to reverie

I'm at my desk upstairs working on my first book - the one I have been talking about for such a long time. I guess I reached some kind of low-activity point over the past year, partly because I have a bunch of other stuff going on and partly because some of the folks who have been egging me on have not been around for various reasons (you know who you are).

Anyway I have been aware for some time that neither of these reasons is sufficient to prevent me from putting in the odd half hour here and there and that's exactly what I've been doing. I have had a fortuitous encounter in recent weeks with someone who has helped me to refocus my efforts and to somehow fit everything in and push forward.

So, it's like life's reward in action sitting here at the desk. I've just finished 30 minutes of pure FLOW, beautifully ended by the sound of Robert Schumann's Traumerei (Reverie) on the new piano downstairs. I don't know much about classical music but I know that I like this particular piece because it is just beautiful.

I will close the lid on the book for another night but I'm definitely moving forward on this. Looking forward to a day off on Friday because on Saturday I'm off to the UK again, this time for an extra day.
