Writing Frenzy

Yeah, yeah I know I have not entered anything here for a couple of days BUT it does not mean that I have neglected my writing. I wrote almost 6,000 words yesterday and my story is now almost ready for the final edit and will be sent off early next week.

Of course, to add a little glitch into the works, I sent a quick query letter to the editor of the on line publisher that I had planned on submitting to. I say PLANNED because at last check in, he said that submissions are closed.......argh. I mentioned that I had been planning to submit to a particular call with a deadline of June 1st so am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be sending it off to them.

However, not to worry as I went on line yesterday and found TONS of different places to submit to. All in all the purpose of this particular masterpiece......smile......has been to make me write daily and write I have been doing. It feels great and as I sit here writing to you all, whoever you are......I can rest in my heart knowing that I can do this and I am very good at it.

Acknowledging our gifts is the first step towards fulfilling our divine purpose. So many times we fall short when our own insecurities enter into the reality that we are working in. It is interesting to note also that there are a lot of different things, or should I say personalities, pulling at me at this time but through it all, I have still written daily and not just for a moment of two, but for hours at a time so I think that that deal with forming a habit in 21 days is true. I have written every day now for 50 days and it is a part of my life. WOO HOO. Also, yesterday during the writing frenzy, I realized that I am able to pick up and continue on from where I left off at any time of the day or night which is a good thing.

My son is also a writer and he is completely dedicated to his craft. I remember when he first got into it big time, he was working full time, trying to connect with people in the advertising industry AND writing for hours each night. He looked like "shite" of course because he was drinking way too much coffee, smoking way too many cigarettes and perhaps getting 4 hours sleep a night BUT at the end of the day, he was writing and that was the main thing. Now he is also working a full time job but he has his priorities straight. He still writes daily and has his coffee and nicotine consumption back into a more regulated place......or so I would hope.

I guess the main thing I am saying here is that when we log into our own personal reason for being, the flow becomes engaged and we are no longer flailing around. I am feeling slightly nervous at the prospect of sending this work of art off because then I will not have that "story" to fall back to each day. A new one will call to me of course and who knows what it will be all about but at the end of the day, there is the excitement at creating from scratch and THAT is an awesome place to be.

I also did get rid of a couple of those places that were taking up time and space and that too is a relief. I have been thinking about doing that.....leaving a comfort zone......for over 2 years so it is another milestone for me. Back into the Trust and having Faith mode and that is not such a bad place to be.

Until next time, be blessed.
