Side note: I love how blogging puts on display one's inconsistencies and determinations. If you're truthful in your writing, it shows you, whether you want to know or not, a metric of how and who you really are.
Well! Today I was asked by a dear friend:
So, when is that launch party for your upcoming book? :)
I answered her like this:
Well... 2010 has been more of a repositioning year. Try as I might to concentrate on the book, I just needed my focus to be on where I was, not where I wanted to be. So I've been redirecting my energy to firmly plant myself where I am, and live inside these moments - fully intending to move forward, but realizing I cant step without having at least one foot planted firmly. Basically, I need to make myself stable before I can jump out there and be a full time writer. I have things to do first, money to redirect and emotional limbs to stretch out.
I'm trying to get grounded so I can get happy! Like degrees, like a full time job, like a real schedule with my kids, like having permanent routines and daycares for themthings like that.
Once I get my ball rolling in the "my life feels stable" direction, I think then I'll be able to quiet my mind enough to write.
And thats the truth. I fully intend to keep writing my articles and write my book as the mood strikes me, I've actually started another little childrens story on the side. But right now my focus is stability, acheivement, and working hard to get to a point where I'm "really" free to write... not just this empty hiatus/job search/yearlong vacation I stumbled upon.
