"Writing to Relax"

It seems that most of the writing I do is structured and has a specific purpose. I'd like to free write some of the time and enjoy the process!
What would I write about? I'd let it flow as a draft and not make any plans other than to unwind with some spirited writing. I guess it's kind of like the book I wrote last month for National Novel Writing Month. I wrote, and wrote, and wrote some more. I didn't have any problem with my stream of consciousness writing as I produced a lot of verbiage. I look forward to doing that again, and it showed me that I can write a lot more than I ever thought possible in such a short period of time.
I received notification today via e-mail that my book has shipped. I look forward to holding a copy of my Musings shortly. I will then read through it and devise a plan for revisions and to see what I can do to turn it into a salable book. I know that I decided a year ago to set the goal of writing a novel in a month which I felt would be a difficult task. I was right, yet, truly inspired. I believe that some of the other opportunities presented through this writing marathon will be of benefit to me as well. I believe that there is another writing month to produce either a screenplay or script. I'll be looking into that as well!
I had fun composing poems inside of it too. I am revising a poem today that I plan on submitting today. I hope that I'll get it done as I have a tremendous amount of work to do. I think it'll be one of those twenty hour days........
You see I ended up booking another book signing this weekend at a brand new coffee shop in Canton. They've only been open two weeks and the owner suggested a Christmas book signing. As the cartoon character Charlie Brown would say......Good Grief! Actually I am looking forward to it. I hope that one or two of the newspapers will announce it in Thursday's edition. If you are in the area stop by and chat with me at the BEARCLAW Coffee shop on Saturday from 3pm-5pm and purchase a copy of my book, "Woman Reclining", or one of my poetry chapbooks or Haiku workbook for children.
See you then!
