Alrighty then! It is a marvelous October morning and I am feeling fine! Everything that has been happening lately I have decided is a sign, or signs, that it’s time for me to get back to writing creatively. I am starting a short story today, I don’t even know what it’s about yet, all I know is that as soon as I get back from the grocery store I am NOT going to plop down on the couch with a book and watch TV. I am going to come up with a story line for a short story and just start writing. I have tons of ideas so that won’t be a problem.
I have all weekend, my work is caught up, I have no one to be responsible for but myself and my little dog. So it is time. Time to get back to what used to make me happier than anything else and that is writing. I WILL NOT concern myself with where I am going to get this story published or if it’s good enough, blah, blah, blah. THAT is what has had me frozen for the last year. I made the mistake after finishing my first novel of learning TOO much about publishing and listening to negative people talk about how the odds were against the writers, and if you didn’t know somebody you couldn’t get your foot in the door, and on, and on. I bought into it and became filled with doubt. BUT NO MORE! I am a GOOD writer and it is upward and onward!
I am very excited. And relieved. God knows I need something going on in my life that I feel excited about again. Writing did it once, when I was writing Maddy I couldn’t have cared less if the sky fell, I was happy. My hope is that writing will give me that feeling again.
Wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted as I go.
