Behind the scenes

You know… sometimes, behind the scenes of writing, this soul must rest. At least 5 days a week are spent either writing, editing, and recording audio. On top of those responsibilities, I also spend a good deal of my day reading others content and corresponding with everyone in the Lobby. This is all by my own choice, by the way, so I’ve no complaints what so ever… I adore this community of souls!

Sometimes, however, I can get so full tilt ahead that I wear myself out, and it begins to show in my writing, among a few other things. If I notice that I feel pressure to produce, over my passion for the current journey… it is time to unplug! When I start making silly mistakes in my everyday life… forgetting things and/or feeling disconnected to the physical environment in which I exist, I know it is time to turn myself OFF, so to speak.

I pushed myself kind of hard over the last week in an attempt to set everything up to run on auto pilot during my surgeries, and, well, I ended up injuring myself a little… not a big deal, but enough to tell me that I am on overload with things and not paying enough attention to things. I just wish I could write all the time and not have to deal with my human side… ugh… body not cooperating…

Guess what though? Gods got me, as He always does, and He told me that I get to go on vacation in the writing department, for at least two weeks! The work is not going anywhere… the dream is not going anywhere… the passion and purpose are NOT going anywhere! I am reminded that God will not leave me standing at the train station… His train will NOT leave without me!

The world has us so well trained in thinking that nothing is free and everything has a price! God’s gifts are free and eternal my friends. I believe that if I seek Him diligently, in all I do, He will bless whatever my hand touches… it says that in the bible repeatedly! Among the many references, David wrote and sang of this many times in the Psalms.

As far as my upcoming novel goes… writing Brutus is a dream I have… something I believe will be worth all of the effort. Two weeks vacation will not do any harm… in fact, I believe I’ll be fully recharged and ready to dive in again, once I get my new eyes!

Starting Monday, this girl will be resting, sleeping, eating, and who knows what else… but writing won’t be on the list… aside from my daily Seeing Eye to Eye post. I will be popping in once a day to update folks as to how things are progressing, but don’t get excited… it won’t be more than one or two comments, max!

Hey… wanna see a really bad joke? Too bad… you’re already here…

What did one eye say to the other eye?

If it weren’t for this mountain between us, we could see each other!
