Writing! I am offering myself the gift of time. Thirty days between jobs to rest into the lifestyle of writing. A 30+ year old fantasy of mine is to published a book, and it is getting exhausting to carry any further. I figure 30 days of developing the writer's lifestyle before I return to work, will get me closer to understand what my writing experience is for me, and how best I am to express it.
At least 4 hours a day...weekends included, will be devoted to writing. For my first project I have a resolution I started on New Years; daily four pages of automatic writing. What is automatic writing? It is non-stop writing, regardless if you have a thought present or not. There may be times where I simply write, blah, blah, blah, until another thought thread forms in my mind. This task takes about 30 minutes each morning.
Synchronicity worked in my favor, and an opportunity to write a 500 page article about my family's business to submit in a local publication was mine if I wanted it. Of course. The article is now amongst my siblings for review. Review can be touchy, and is one of the writer's growing opportunities I need to be open to. Honest, objective, criticism.
Besides this one, which I hope to contribute to daily....maybe the new spot for my daily automatic, I have another blog devoted to changing consciousness, which I will be contributing to a couple of days a week. Lastly, I have a rough outline of a novel/memoir with large post-it notes on my bedroom wall, which I am awaiting inspiration to tell me the next step. I have picked up stones and alter pieces that resonate with the energies I use for writing, which currently is Gabrielle, Zackielle, Sananda, and most importantly at this time, Mother Mary Magdeline.
Writer's Group anyone?
