I have just started my 17 day Xmas / new year break and I'm getting ready to turn my current play into a novel. Since last I posted I've been really busy with work and rehearsals and thinking about where to start. I've been sick with the flu due to burning the candle at both ends and thus really in need of time to relax and let the creative juices flow. I believe I have found my beginning and I'm looking forward to putting pen to paper...errr...fingers to keyboards... I'm excited!!!
That's exciting. I wish you the best of luck! Lots of soup and fluids should help. And lots of rest. Try writing in bed. Should be relaxing.
