Writing in February Half-Way

This resolution has proven to be easier than meditation for me. I find myself thinking about my characters when I am driving to work, standing in line in the grocery story, the rare quiet moments when most of the rest of the house is asleep. When I start writing I usually also want to keep going, sometimes I lose track of time and before I know it I should have gone to bed 30 minutes ago and one of my characters has done something crazy...I want to see what they do next, but know that I am already going to pay the consequences for this when my alarm goes off at the ungodly hour of 6:30 a.m. Then again, what's another 15 minutes when the morning is already painful. I find that writing my story makes me not want to waste time writing anything else. For example, my blog. I've had to resist writing at work too as I have the most fantastic ideas when I am driving to work. By the time I get home, I only find traces of them left. However, those traces grow and learn how to breathe, learn how to walk, sometimes learn how to punch someone in the face without using their hands, um, yeah. I hope that someday all of this sees the light of day and doesn't stay trapped in my computer forever.
