I was thinking yesterday during my day alone, that when this book is finished I won't have this excuse to stay home while the boys go off, and that I will miss it. Once the book is finished, I'll be expected to take part in all the family outings and though I do enjoy them, I also enjoy having a day with the house to myself, the car outside ready to go. There is no-one to cook for, no-one wanting to do their thing, its very like being a single student again. I like it!
I was also thinking yesterday that the actual writing is not painful for me. I like writing. Which is a good thing, as it is my job as well as my 'leisure' activity. I don't think I have a novel in me though. I am not driven to write, and I don't feel a great big Message swelling up within. And I get overwhelmed with the inventiveness of writers, and think things like 'how can I compete with that?' I don't know if compete is the right word, perhaps I don't think I have anything to offer. Some people's imaginations are overwhelming...
