Getting Back On Track

It has been over a month since my last post here and my fiction writing has been neglected. Having two children with birthdays in December, plus the holidays, plus various other situations meant that writing and blog-postings had to wait.
Getting side-tracked by real life is not neccessarily a bad thing for writing, unless, of course the writer gets side-tracked too long. I actually had some story ideas bubble up when I was the most distracted and busy.
It was as if while one part of my brain was busy addressing greeting cards,buying gifts and wrapping presents, the writer part was also busy in the background working out storylines and inventing characters. It's like whenever you can't recall someone's name or maybe the name of a store or restaurant you used to visit, if you just stop trying to think of it, the answer will come to you out of nowhere. Your brain is still working on the answer, you just have to give it time to access the file.
Well, my brain created some new files that have to be looked through. Now I just have to find the time to that.
