Swirling | CWBC
This is part of the ChristianWriters Blog Chain for March. The subject, swirling. As it pertains to our life, our writing, or however our brain interprets it. Follow the links at the end of this article for other authors’ take on the word.
Writing swirls the same as life.
Ebbs and advances according to our challenges of the day or week.
For me, one affects the other on a week in and week out basis. That is, if life is swirling busily around me, my writing suffers (as does my motivation). If my writing swirls out of control or propels me along the storyline with reckless abandon, I seem to be more content than not. Interesting how that happens, eh?
This past month my editing of Searching for Sara has trotted along at a wonderful pace, not too drastic and not too tiresome. Of course, it helped that I received a ‘Certificate of Merit’ from Deep River Books at month’s beginning. Something of an encouragement for this author (who sometimes feels she limps along behind everyone else). The key is to continue forward, no matter where you are in the writing timeline. If you don’t plod forward, how can you ever finish? Yes, of course sometimes finishing means that 3 or 4 other novels have swirled out of the mists of inspiration, but is that a bad thing?
I am a writer. I adore the spinning of the unwritten tale – that lesson waiting to be divulged to others. Each day a new story beckons. One last happy ending. My characters have a life outside of my own, and I always learn from their destiny.
