Good morning, everyone!!!
I took the day off from life yesterday. I headed out to my sister's house to just get away from everything for a little while. I just needed a moment to just be and I wasn't going to get that sitting here in the house.
So, I loaded up, headed to her house, and spent the day hanging out. They've done so much to the property since I was there last. Her hubby and son are making bridges over the creeks and golf cart accessible trails through the 19 acres of woods. Yep, we drove down those trails :)
So now it is a brand new week. It's time to get new goals going, new outlooks on what I want to see by the end of the week from myself. Our anthology is now out there for sale. Which I am thrilled about :)
Now it is time to move forward into one of my next projects. I was at Saturday's writing meeting and so many had the same story in our jeers portion of the meeting. Usually I'm pretty stoked after a meeting, but this month's meeting sorta made me sad. So many were having issues with where things are going in their careers. Which this got me to deep thinking on the topic.
We're all in the same place with 'is this worth it' sort of thing. Maybe not all in the same exact place but so many of us are in some area of this mode. In some instances, we've lost the fun feeling where it comes to writing. In other instances, we've just gotten into a slump that is hard to get out of.
So, for me I believe it is like being buried alive. If I remain in the slump or buried in the ground, I am not going to escape if I don't take action. I will remain there, buried under those mounds of dirt, losing more and more of the air I breathe.
So I've decided this week I will begin again. Start with a new goal, a new action so to speak. I will make a game plan and stick with it. First things first, however. After work today I commence to putting things around here back in order. Since I took the day off yesterday there is tons to be done. First line of order is to put my living space back in order. Then from there block out some time each day for just writing. By writing I mean, write until I fall in love again :)
It is effecting my entire existence. Zapping my energy for life so to speak. And I can't have that. I want to be energized again. I want to wake up in the morning and be biting at the bit until I can be back at the keyboard pounding away at the next work in progress.
So my goal for this week is to put things back in order, both in my normal every day life and my writing world. Yes, I understand this means I may have to force myself to push the mark in some areas, but it will be worth it in the end :)
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
