Dear friends!
I can’t tell you all how much I’ve missed you all and this blog.
A blog still thankfully ‘on the air’ thanks to Jenn, Stacey, and Marie-Claude.
So much has happened that I won’t bore you with details, neither will I promise to be regular on the scene for a few more months, but I wanted to let you all know that life CAN and WILL get in the way of writing, blogs, social networks, and unfortunately, our muses.
All I can say is hang in there. All trials eventually end or even out enough for us to find the time to do what we must as writers. And that right. YOU, and you, and you, know what I’m talking about.
Writing! It’s a need. An addiction. A catharsis. A MUST!
I’ve had some hardships hit in the past two years that took my feet out from underneath me, along with the ‘pen’ out of my hand. I barely had time to breathe, let alone write. But we have to keep pushing for that time. I can do it. YOU can do it!
Make a plan and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t meet every goal. Think small and revel in the smallest achievements.
Here’s mine:
1. Write at least 30 mins every day.
2. Research – New story, agents, editors, contests – when I have a minute or two.
3. READ
4. Don’t beat myself up
Sounds simple, but we all know it isn’t.
I plan to start Agent Shop again this fall. I think August will be my ‘back in the saddle’ date.
Again, I miss you all and hope everyone has HUGE news to share when I return for real.
Until then, happy writing and best in your real world lives!
Candi!
