Every so often, my contribution to society comes to a screeching halt. Yes, I consider my writing a great contribution to the twelve people that read it. Anyway, this emptiness always frustrates and annoys me. I love writing. I have a great habit of writing regularly. But this habit breaking happens occasionally.
I just realized why. Have you ever been amazed how people cry out to God only when they are hanging on the the edge of a 100 foot cliff with rabid alligators circling below. Every other day they are king of the world and totally capable and then one little bad circumstance and they think God will come rescue them. That’s kind of how it is with my writing.
I have a very diligent habit of sitting down and writing every day (at least every workday). And I enjoy this time. But one little bad thing happens that throws me off my mental game, and I stop writing. The crazy thing is that during those tough times, that’s when I should write even more! Failures and challenges provide more lessons than do successes. But I allow circumstances to change my behavior. Shame on me.
So, the last month has been a wild ride. Some good stuff and some great stuff. Some stuff that seems sucky right now but I’m sure will prove awesome in the end–like it usually does.
Summer is here. I’m launching Vision Pipeline Assistant this week after a LOOOOONG year of development. I’ve got a massive marketing campaign to unveil. Carolina still wants to have date nights. The beach is calling. I just hope I’ll stick to my habit of writing better than I have the last few weeks.
Oh, and thanks for reading!
