All this week I had the pleasure of taking my youngest to nursery in the morning. It's been great dropping him off and seeing his place of learning. It wasn't without incident though. On Wednesday morning my back twinged while lifting the little guy so that he could press the buzzer at the nursery door. The last two days have been very uncomfortable.

After a painful day yesterday, I had to lie down. A couple of pain killers later and I'm lying on my bed wondering what to do next. I picked up my phone and started writing. 500 words, 1000 words, 1500 words. The milestones were just flowing past. When I started feeling tired I had written 2500 words. Not a bad start to a book.

It took me to being flat on my back before I started writing, and once it started it just kept going. I've probably made dozens of spelling and grammar mistakes, but that's what the first draft is for. It's not about details, it's just about writing. Getting the idea on paper using words. I've made that first step in getting something down and I'll be continuing with it now over the weekend.
