Blog of a newbie writer and her adventures with Sir Cursoralot - my cursor friend and foe. |
| In some ways, this week has been unproductive in terms of my current novel draft. Again, Mason has not moved from his room after taking a few nurofen and listening to the sounds of the house settle into the night. He must be quite sick of those sounds by now and I imagine the Nurofen has kicked in. I am hoping to get back to him today and let him move on and give my cursor, Sir Cursoralot some exercise. In others, it has been productive. I have started documenting I guess you could say my journey in story form with "Random Tales/Two Side of the Same Coin. Not overly sure if that is the correct title for my collection but i can always change it. I am learning patience, and I think some resilience in this journey of writing. I have allowed myself to step away from Mason (my main character) and give myself time to let him rest and with it my mind. I would love to write this novel quickly and get it out there with the minimum of fuss. I would love it to be successful and quickly. I feel at 51 nearing 52 like I'm running out of time to make something of myself for me. To stick it to all those who have constantly thought of me as a nothing of substance. But then of course, all my self doubts, the devil voices come in as per usual to sweep my feet out from under me. But I am growing strong and more determined in this area as well. Pushing those voices back, telling them to you know what .......off! I'm also allowing my spiritual side to come back. My pagan side, which is another journey just for me. In the quiet times, my alone times, not needing to share to be able to embrace. So in reality, I have had a productive week. Have you?? I truly hope so. Tell me about it. |
