On every
first Wednesday of the month, a fabulous
crowd of tenacious writers gathers to share thoughts and wisdom at the Insecure Writer’s Support
Group. Won’t you join us?
As many of
us are refueling after another rousingly fun April A to Z Challenge (myself included)
our thoughts just may be on the manuscript or memoir; now buried in a pile. Or submissions that we meant to send, now
lost in To-Be-Filed. My thoughts are
bursting like pop-rocks!
A month has
passed since I’ve watched as shadows slide from lofty
canyon knolls; dispersing flocks and fox dens to
greet the dawning day. Less appealing
is the valley, roaring into life to race to concrete mazes of superficial fortune
as if the richness beyond matters naught.
Oddly, I am
inspired as I squint at a list of acceptable To-do’s and happily vow to resume
stalking an unassuming mailman in a truck
laden with paper confirmations of genuine
household names. Will mine be one today? Or will I receive a writer’s goathead?
“Failure is success if we learn from it” ~ Malcolm
Forbes
Would I
crumble like an old dried leaf beneath a careless heel, or soar above the
mountains high? Demand repentance and repeal, or nestle in a fragrant tree,
with ever-watchful eyes? I have, I will, I
won’t, and I am!
The surest
thing you’ll ever know is when words still flow unfettered – no matter what did
or did not come in your mailbox – that you are a writer. Chin up, Muse on and Write away!
“…reach must exceed grasp or what’s a heaven for?” ~ Robert Browning
Just for
fun: My online grammar app says I used
a politically incorrect word. Did you catch it?
