2019 hasn't gotten off to a good start. That's alright. I'm not writing this year off yet, just because the first quarter had some bumps. Instead, I'm going to try again and make an effort to do it right this time.
One thing, as I mentioned in my last entry, is to improve my attitude toward day to day life, and my relationships with the people around me. I really am blessed, and need to tap into those blessings with a sense of gratitude to open up new possibilities and opportunities.
The other thing I'm going to do is get to what is typically a New Year's resolution. Each year, I usually strive to do something I've been saying I'll do for a while, but haven't gotten around to. Obviously, that hasn't happened yet this year. The good news is that my timing is good to get on this now, because I decided this year's project will be working on short stories. I've said for years that I want to do this. Well, The Earthside Box Set is complete (it's free March 27-31, by the way, so go grab that five book series for your Kindle), and Convergence releases Monday (April 1). This means that, for the first time in over five years, I don't have a novel in progress. And while I do have a vague idea for my next project, I feel that I need to take a hiatus from novel-writing after the whirlwind that has been Earthside to replenish the creative well. Novels are fun, but they're intense (and obviously a lot of work). What better way to use this hiatus than to work on short stories? I think it's finally time to really and truly get on this goal. And so I shall.
Thanks be to God I am continuing to heal, and I'm not giving up. Rather, the personal discoveries I made during my recent illness have given me inspiration and hope to try again - and to do better this time. It's possible, and I pray that I do it right this time.
I'm not giving up. Lord willing, I'm just getting started. It's never too late and spring is just as good a time to start anew as January. Heck, you can always start over. The calendar just marks Earthly time. We need to follow the timing of the Spirit - and that rarely follows any kind of logic.
That's all today. Take care, and have a great week.
Bye!
