I started out my Sunday writing my book - sweet! I got right up, splashed some cool water on my face and began to type. I figured that would be the best time to get some writing done. It's also my best time as far as energy level and clear mind ;)

So far today I've written 2+ more book pages. I call them book pages because, of course, in the computer I'm typing on 8 ½ x 11 sheets of "paper," which translates into 2 book pages. I enjoyed writing the last sequence. It just sort of channeled through as I was writing, as so often happens when I'm at the keyboard. A lot of my writing doesn't come from thinking about the book, but about writing and the material kind of flowing out as I go. Then sometimes I get stuck and it's challenging to allow for the fluidity. But, I know it will come back.

Last night I had a round table (okay, rectangular table) discussion with my family - well, family and ex-family?" Anyway, my 2nd ex-husband and I have remained very close friends and his girls are still daughters to me. So, we still get together, hang out and share holidays - neither of us has a 'significant other' as yet. And we all discussed The Attic and how it should end and there were definitely strong varying ideas about the subject. We also talked about how other parts of the book could proceed. That was interesting and got a bit silly and off-track at times, but that was fun too.

I leave you for now with this:

"When you come to the edge of all that you know,
you must believe in one of two things:
there will be earth upon which to stand,
or you will be given wings."

Hopefully, some of you are challenging yourselves to get out there and do your artistic thing. Just do it...for the fun of it. Don't let it become work...just allow it to come through you...to take it's natural course from a place of joy. You'll be surprised at how it transpires and transforms. So, come on...move it, shake it up...get to exploring and playing with YOUR gift. XO
