Something i wrote on December 31, 2014…
I sit here on the eve of Jan 1 2015. I have been away from my writing for a bit. Merely posting about things done while skiing in Colorado on Twitter and instagram and facebook. I am now pondering my future plans–
I hit the ground running on Jan 5—-There is much to do for our March event and not much time to do it in.
I also have two girls who need me still as a mom. Thank goodness otherwise I would go into mourning right now.
And that book. Quite honestly I can’t wait to go back to working on it.
The worst things to happen to my writing schedule—Deciding to make Christmas presents for my friends and family(the girls and women)
Started to read the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon back in October. I can’t put them down–I need to see what happens–it makes me hungry to get back to my own historical novel writing.
So Christmas present making is done—but those books! Kindle and instant access to books is a fabulous and frightening thing. I have no need to even move from my position to buy the next and the next. Perhaps this is why I only saw my dad reading fiction while on trips–mysteries usually and some sci fi. He might read fiction to Beau an dI at the breakfast table but not on his own. I may need to limit myself–I just keep thinking I will catch up top the end of the series and then be waiting for the next–of course then I will be reading a few other authors I enjoy who’s books are patiently waiting.
This is my plan for the new year–no fear–just put my head down and go. When I ski sometimes I doubt myself and my ability–I will find myself at the top of a run and wonder just what I am seeing ahead. Then I remember the amazing people that ski with the Adaptive Sports program and I think—“Some of the AS skiers can’t see the run and they still ski –so stop looking at where you are going and just go.” These skiers make me brave. Take the step off of the safe place and see what lies ahead confident in your abilities to meet each challenge as you come to it. Don’t anticipate–it’s a great way to ruin the present.
