on writing + passion and love

What my evenings look like.

I've come to realize that heartache is my muse.

Not a great muse, but my muse nonetheless.

I'm determined to finish this novel.

It is taking much too long, but it has been an insightful journey.

I've learned a lot about myself in this process.

And I know that there are still much more to be learned.

Our passions don't ever die.

They may become dormant for awhile,

but they are there waiting to be awakened.

That's love.

You can't give up on it

Because no matter how dim it has become,

you know it's there.  It's in you.

You just have to realize it.

writing day

Twelve hours later, 

ten pages completed 

and ready to be submitted.  

Inspired again.  

I guess, all I needed was a full writing day.  

And I'm back on track.

Sometimes, we just need to ride out the funk, and wait for it to pass.

Because it eventually does.  Always.

quote of the week

“You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. 

Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, 

but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent.”

-Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

It's amazing when things fall into place.  When you realize that everything you've been through was meant to happen, so you'd end up here.  Where you're meant to be.
