Dear Mom,
I decided after this letter, that my writing to you might be less frequent. All that talk about following your dreams has me thinking I need to work harder in pursuing my goal—my dream. I’ll keep you informed.
I have four books that sit unfinished. I have a complete rough draft for two, and the other two won’t take much to have a complete draft, but the real work is in the rewriting, revising, and editing. It seems as soon as I’m near the end with one story, I start another thinking it will help me finish the last one. I’m wondering if this isn’t just an excuse. Or a deep hidden fear. I’ve decided to work right through the fear—wherever it takes me. Having made that decision, I signed up for the Missouri Writers’ Guild conference, “Just Write” taking place April 8-10.
All—okay, almost all—socializing will be put on hold until after the conference. I have work to do!
It’s funny, I make a decision to do something—especially focusing on my writing—and more ideas come to surface. Even though this makes no sense to me to start another blog when I’m telling you my letter writing will be less frequent, I’ve learned to listen to that inner voice regardless of how ridiculous it seems.
Lynn, What’s for Dinner? popped in my head after a conversation with my friend Kim. It’s haunted me ever since. I’ll be killing two birds with one stone. Wait, that’s really an awful saying isn’t it? I’d never kill one bird with a stone, much less two. The purpose of what I’m doing is twofold: writing and figuring out what’s for dinner. As an added bonus, I’m helping others figure out what to have, if they desire.
There are other What’s for Dinner blogs out there so it’s not an original idea like I had first thought, but mine will have it’s own unique style.
I’m sure I’ve learned to cook through osmosis from you, and I’ll be sharing some of your dinner ideas that I remember when I was little.
Check out Lynn, What’s for Dinner? (lynnowhatsfordinner.blogspot.com). Follow me daily or any time you need an idea about what to have for dinner.
Bon Appetite!
Good for you! And you know I'll follow you anywhere. :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, this is wonderful news! You always inspire me and I'm so glad to hear you signed up for the conference. I, too, need to quit talking the talk, and start walking the walk...faster and straighter! I, too, had just decided to really slow down on my blog posts...although I know I've said it a few times before. :) AND, I will definitely follow you on your food blog, which is an awesome idea!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAre you on a sugar high? Where the heck do you get your energy? Three or more blogs? That's juggling. I'm following.
ReplyDeleteWow! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm still on the fence about the conference. I need to make up my mind and get with the program!
