So where have I been since the summer started?
Writing and writing and writing and writing.
It all started innocently enough. Had an idea. Started playing with it. Turned it into a book title - Know Trust Choose Create. Then the words started coming in, a trickle, then a stream, then a river. By September it was a lake, a deep one, and I am still happily swimming in it. Have 3/4 of the first draft written, will have it finished by the end of December. Then I will give it a 6 week rest, the minimum resting time according to Stephen King and he should know, before tackling draft number 2.
The writing I have been doing all my art career is taking centre stage right now. It is being rather pushy about it, so I am letting it have its way with me. What else can you do when creating takes over?
What am I writing? A memoir that teaches healing through memory, story, and love. I had fibromyalgia for 34 years, but not any more. I healed it. I used my creativity, my Buddhist practice, and my imagination.
Keep watching this space because I am now building a blog with book excerpts and more on my creative process. I'll be linking this website to it so you can find me. See you soon!
