I was over at The Dynamic Trio earlier this afternoon talking about how I’ve found myself in this very nice, nearly Zen space about my writing. I feel calm and positive. I’m not harried and rushed, I’m not blocked or feeling discouraged. I finished one book I love and I’m nearly finished with a second and when that’s done and they’re both edited and sent to Angie, I’ll start work on a project that’s 100% pleasure writing. I don’t know where it’ll go, I’m not thinking in terms of market. I’m not going to stop at the end of three chapters. I will write to the end, all for myself.

Right now, I’m good. I’m happy. I have books scheduled for release into May of next year. I realized the other day just how blessed I am. How much it means to me to be here in a place where I am doing what I love so much.

I honestly think it was starting the 70 Days of Sweat challenge that jump started this for me. It enabled me to put a focus on my writing from a different place. It brought me this fabulous productivity and I captured the feeling I hadn’t had in a while. I laid aside the stress of the wait, the anxiety of “will it sell” and I’m just writing. It won’t last forever, LOL, the anxiety is always there in some sense, but I’m taking this lovely feeling and embracing it while I can. To save up and use when I’m FUHHREEEKING! about something or other.

    Thank you, Seeley! It is wonderful and it’s one of those things that you can hold onto when it gets hard again!

    I think that’s the most important thing you can do for yourself now and then. Just write something for you.
