Writing Just for the Exercise

I haven't written lately.  I participated in Nanowrimo in November and got a little burned out.  I put it aside, dealt with other issues in my life, but now I feel I should start writing again.  I need to finish my novel about Olivia and Andy, the nature biologist and the reporter, the country girl and city boy.  So many things they need to overcome if they are ever to fall in love forever.  Then I have some children's stories I've written.  I wish I was a cartoonist and could illustrate them.  I think they are cute and publishable.  I did a short stint of poetry early last year.  I was taking a creative writing class and needed to finish it up.  Unfortunately, none of it was publishable.  Poetry is not my calling.  Fiction is.  So today, I'm writing just for the exercise.  Trying to get back into the habit of putting words down on paper or in my computer daily.  It is a good habit, a healthy habit and I don't want to stop now that I've started.  So as with all good things, a break was needed, but now that I've had a rest, I'm going to write, write, write some more.  So stay tuned and keep on reading.
