A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-And-Eighty-Two

I am getting more of a knack for writing fiction on the fly.  It is not my preference, to be honest, but if I can't come up with an idea during the day and I still intend to write a story, I don't always have a choice.  Tonight, I was kind of feeling stuck but once I made the choice to sit down and get to work, once I had actually opened up the document, I found there was an idea waiting.  It was, in some ways, a fairly simple story, and I can see the ways it is echoing other things I've written before, but it was also a new expression of those ideas.  What is more, as I have expressed before, in many ways the ability to write a new story each day is more important to me right now the overall quality of any individual piece.  The point is to practice and get better, while also learning how to keep myself going and doing the work no matter how I might feel in the moment.
