Writing Is Thrilling Again
On this Thanksgiving Day I'd like to thank Troy Worman who nominated my blog, The Good Life, as an O!Blog. Today I happened upon one of the other nominees' blog, Lisa Gates of Intrinsic Life Design. Lisa is a writing coach and in one of her posts she says:"Whether you're livelihood is focused on freelance writing, editing, or publishing fiction or non-fiction, or building model airplanes, the critical difference in whether you get in action and achieve your goals is not whether they're specific and measurable with "by-whens" attached, but whether they're resonant and thrilling, and connected to your whole life."
One of the reasons I haven't been writing much lately is that I didn't find it to be a thrilling activity anymore. I was on this race to finish these projects, but what happened was that I ended up burnt out and overwhelmed. I went into paralysis mode where I just didn't really do much of anything. Well, I did blog a little but my heart wasn't in it and I found myself in these mind blocks.
However, this week I have been coming back out of my shell and I'm finding that the words and creativity are flowing again. Maria's got her groove back! I even have the creative energy to make new Christmas greeting cards...
