Changing Gears on the Side of the Mountain

  • Mood:
  • Music: What About Now - Daughtry
In order to survive the world these days, you have to be able to struggle through holding in the brake and hitting the clutch while four-wheeling it up the side of a steep, slippery mountain. Yeah, I know, my country roots are showing...and I am proud of them!

The truth is, with so much changing and going on in the world, especially with my world, no one really has the luxury of just sitting back and doing nothing. Today when I woke up, and I am VERY thankful I did wake up, I was ready for something different. I was ready for something to fill my days other than just knitting and housework.

So, I am going to start writing again. I have set myself a specific time-frame to work in, and nothing is going to be done within those three hours except writing and possibly a little research if need be.

It occurred to me, upon waking, that I might not be able to go out and get a regular job because of my body. Still, this shouldn't mean I could not try to pull in some extra money into the household through crafts and writing. The writing mind-set has been absent from me for several years in depth, but, now I see it again, and feel it again: You can't just "think" about writing or "hope" to write, but you actually have to write
in order for things to get published. Yes, I know, I have to remind myself of that very fact quite often, but now there is a better understanding of "why" I need to do that. Perhaps now I won't have to remind myself quite so often.

Yesterday the BP was up a little, and it is up today some -- 110/90. Yeah, need to do something very different now.
