How Silly We Must Look

I wonder what other people think when I’m writing.  I just realized, as I was typing a paragraph, that I was mimicking my MC’s actions, trying to find the right word to describe her movements.  Thank goodness no one was here to watch.

I know I do this often.  In the midst of writing, I’ll make a face, shrug my shoulders, or pace the living room acting out a scene to gather the most detail I can.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall and watch myself write just to see how goofy I must look :)
