When the brain takes a nap
Panic Takes Over
by Begin Again
Her body trembled as her thoughts raced through her weary head. "Why can't I remember?"
She stared at the computer, fingers poised on the keyboard.
Her lips moved as she prayed, "Dear Lord, please help me. I wrote a story, but I don't know what it was about."
She closed her eyes and tried to breathe. "How does one write a book and then not remember a single word?"
Somewhere within herself, a soothing voice spoke, "Relax. It's okay."
She felt calm once more.
The phone rang. It was her son. "Just checking on you."
She answered, "Couldn't be better."

I have been writing Spirited Justice for two months, and last night, I suddenly couldn't remember what the book was even about, though it was a sequel to the first. For fifteen minutes, I seriously freaked. And then it all came back to me. I guess my brain needed a nap.
