I found some new inspiration for my book on my friend Amanda Fink’s blog. Thanks Fink!
I absolutely loved the book that this woman Elizabeth Gilbert wrote, and sometimes when I’m sitting down to write I feel like this. I feel so much pressure to make sure it’s good. What if we could relieve ourselves of some of our egos, and relax?
Since I have watched this film, I feel so much less burdened. What if I didn’t have to take complete responsibility for how it turns out? It’s allowed me to just let things flow.
I am now up to page 46 in my book. I’m just starting to figure out how I work. I’ve tried writing at all different times of day, before taking a shower, after taking a shower, before working out, after working out, right before bed, as soon as I get up…and I find I work best by starting first thing in the morning. My mind is fresh, my spirits are high, and although I may smell a bit, my words fly. I still have no idea if it will be any good, but I do picture myself on Oprah. Fair enough?
