This picture is to demonstrate how I've been feeling
since my last post regarding the goals I've set for 2015—buried! So maybe my goals were a bit ambitious, but I was sure I could achieve them
when I wrote them down, but a month in, I'm no longer as certain.
Still, it's only a month in so I'm blaming the depressive
qualities of winter – cloudy gray skies, a frozen dishwasher pipe, a flood on
the kitchen floor, the drip, drip, drip of a leak that just wouldn't quit, and
then finding out it's been dripping for months maybe years, and the wooden water soaked beams of the floor
need to be replaced. Oh the joys of owning a 100 + house!
But there is no quit because each day the sun shines
brighter and longer, I can feel the hope of spring. And while the muse has me working
despite everything, I'm not yet working on any of the book goals I listed in
January, but on the changes for Murder & Obsession suggested by my editor.
The novel I thought I'd finished is still in rewrite, so
please excuse me while I concentrate on perfection. Although, I did enter WOW's winter flash
fiction challenge, so that is something I can check off the list.
Oh, and once again I'm joining Mari L. McCarthy's
Starting on March 1st.
Okay, I admit it, I need all the help I can get!
I also recently wrote a post
for Mari's blog Create Write Now
that discusses how journaling helped me rediscover my muse after a year of
illness.
