Drudgery

I don't like it when writing becomes something akin to 'homework.' Most writers have episodes when we're writing into deadlines or have writerly tasks to perform. Yet I fear something of that drudgery of writing into task...as in, "get this job done so that I can return to my REAL writing." A real killer. And so I am working on my current assignments - book reviews, a nurturing piece for the monastery newsletter - along with research on the beguines attempting to keep it fresh and new. As if I have nothing else to do.
