Recently I went to a writers meeting of an organization that I used to be very active in. I was thrilled to see all the writers and the organizer Lori, again. The more we talked, the more my creative juices flowed. I missed writing more than I realized. No, my blog doesn't count. At least, I don't think it does. I have finished my book, The Great Chase, and am now on the hunt for a good editor. I am hoping to find one soon to get started on the revisions.
I have now started on my other book, Sleepless Nights, a collection of scary and strange stories. I am hoping to have that done by the end of this year and get it edited and revised by next year. Of course, as most writers know, writing is not a very lucrative business unless you are "discovered" and make it big, like Stephen King or Anne Rice. So I will have some life changes this year. I am looking forward to starting my real estate classes. That's right I said real estate classes. I am looking forward to being a real estate agent. Of course that will not stop me from being creative and continuing my writing. So when I am completely rich and famous, I can buy a big fat house and live like a queen. In the meanwhile, I will be a working stiff like the rest of the world.
I have been an at home writer and CFO of My Family Inc. (that is not a real business by the way) for a few years now and am looking forward to moving forward with my career. But my classes don't start until mid April so until that time I am doing a couple of things. One, I am on this whole Paleo "lifestyle" trying to lose some weight. Every one's new year's resolution. I kinda have to stick with this though as this is doctor ordered. So I have been working out three times a week for about an hour or two. It hasn't been easy but I have stuck with it. I will admit that I feel better and have seen some success but I have fallen off the horse now and then. I'm not perfect.
Second, write..write...write. I am trying to write a least 30 minutes a day. That is very difficult with family and life in general. Those of you who have kids and a job can understand where I am coming from with time crunch issues. But I find that writing at night is best for me. I can decompress from the day and relax enough to let my mind come up with something wonderful.
As I mentioned earlier I am part of a writers group, the Boulder Writer's Workshop, and I was asked-all members with blogs were asked-to link their blogs to the website. I was hesitant of course. Here all the writers have blogs about Poetry, book reviews and other serious issues and mine is called My Bytch Blog where I B&C about crap that happens in my life and random stuff that my warped brain comes up with. **Sigh** I felt like the black sheep of the family. I reluctantly agreed and hope I don't get laughed out of my writers group for being some hack writer of shitty satire. Well we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
Until next time...
