I am happy to report while in Maine Daughter and I read over my contract for writing from Oprah's website. It was signed by the two of us, witnessed by my son-in-law and grandson, and sealed by the fireplace at the Harraseeket Inn.
It may seem silly to some. A legal contract with no real binding power...except to me.
I began in earnest yesterday after a number of weeks, when admittedly I lost some steam. I set the timer on the oven for two hours exactly. While writing I cannot answer the phone, the door, the laundry buzzer. I may not check emails, send emails, blog, text or vacuum. I must sit and face my computer screen for the entire agreed upon time.
I was tested. The phone rang, but I did not answer. Cat fur rolled past me like tumbleweed, but I did not budge.
The timer went off and I could not believe two hours of writing had passed! I emailed Done to my daughter!
And waited...
"Bing" went my iPad...and Check! Back on course!
