A Writer's Challenge

I know I haven't posted anything in quite sometime as I found myself lost in transition I guess you can say with work picking up because of graduation. Going to the gym with a friend and I also joined a locate writer's group that other friend introduced me too.

I've had quite a lot of things to juggle lately but I noticed more and more that despite all the wonderful advice from my fellow writers I still couldn't find the inspiration I was looking for and the creative flow was stopped a by a dam.

Everyone around was either typing away furiously on their laptops knowing what they need and had all the pieces to the puzzles while here I am grasping at straws barely getting anything at all.

Other then writing in my agenda how the day went or something nothing at all. I was trying to see the small victories at least I was writing something even if it wasn't creative.

So since I couldn't sit down and write anything creative, I decided two things: to watch anime and to get a lot of reading done during this period.

I started reading more about the writing process and what works best for writers when they are writing. Two things jumped out at me: to write all of my ideas down no matter how small and the other is that I didn't have much of writing process, if I did wasn't consciously aware of it.

It also didn't help that I was consistently getting distraction by my family when I was sitting down to try to get something on the blank screen. When frustration was at it's peak, I am done fight everyone and even myself. And I sat done to really mediate on the situation.

I had to work things out for myself. I realized then that I was comparing myself to my other fellow writers and was even jealous of a few of them because they know what they wanted and how they were going to do it.

It's the reason why I keep hitting a wall so every time any frustration, irritation or annoyance and oh yes even jealousy. I had to remember myself everyone is different in the way they work.

And they inspired me to find my writing process and really play attention to what works best for me. Once I lock that way of think it seem that things became much more easier for me to handle. I didn't beat myself up for not being productive. I just took that time to absorb as much information that I could to have some sort of foundation to make my writing easier.

I am doing plenty of reading now which really helps with my writing as it helps to expand my vocabulary as well as helps me to give constructive feedback to my fellow writers at the group session.

I really had to shut out of the outside distraction to be even able to write just my ideas down on paper once that happened I was able to expand on the each time I wrote.

Now I've gotten into the habit of doing that, I've had a breakthrough with my writing. I've written about half a page for the second book for The Beastly Covenant but for the second trilogy those I am still doing research on. I only got about a paragraph worth of beginning though. I am not sure where I am going with this but I wanted it to organic as possible I don't want to force anything.

So yes dear friends all writers go through the same dread blocks that I was going through but I got tell you hiatus aren't bad because you can get burnt out after a big project like I did.

I needed that break but when you are ready to get back in the game and you find that you've got nothing that is the block I am talking about.

The best thing that worked for me when I was in that place was to follow the advice I read in the a book. Write all your story ideas down no matter how big or small it is write it down. Keep the notebook handle where  you go or if you can record things on your phone do it that way. Just so that your in that place where the ideas are flowing and that will help with all the rest. Good luck!

Insightful Day

It’s been a while since I've actually posted anything but that’s within reason as I found myself swamped with work, too much work too soon. I had a lot of ups and downs. Some ups are really good and some downs are really bad. That’s the best way to know how to describe them anyhow.I found myself really irritated today because of the words that were spoken to me in a certain location and at a certain time mind you.

It was more the vibration of the words that I think like in the words themselves because of the phrase that continues to repeat in my head over and over like cassette tape that was stuck repeating the same song over and over and over again.

It’s been a while since I actually felt like this, felt the aggravation, frustration, and simply bogged down by negative frequencies from certain individuals. I find myself surprised by my reaction. And I realize it’s a reaction because lately I've been proactive instead of reactive. I didn't feel too good either.

So I think you’re contemplating what’s going, why do I feel the way I feel and how do I go about changing. The thing is to acknowledge what you’re feeling and not hiding on the carpet because you can do something about it when you shed more light on it.

Same thing goes with complaining, since I decided not to avoid complaining I just do no way that’s beneficial and I listen to what I’m complaining about so that way I can have some clues to what I need to change. 

I consider every bump in the road an excellent opportunity to learn all that I can so that way I can be at the top of my game all the time every day all day. Because it feels good to be there, to be proactive instead of reactive and I’m much more prefer it that way.

So shortly after I finish writing this I’m going to sit myself down to a couple meditations, go through some cord cutting exercises and really start to put my energetic tools more to use on the days that I know that our encounter certain people that will have a negative attitude and or frequency.

Up From the Depths

A seed is planted beneath
the muck and slim of the swamps.
Yet it grows with very little light,
reaching up and up to sprout above
the surface.

Spreading it's petals wide beneath the sunlight, bathing it's self it's warmth. This flower has done the impossible and yet it's enjoying it's time in the sun.

Think of this lotus, the next time you think something is impossible to do.

Taking Action!

Good morning! By the time you read this, I’ll be off having another adventure you can. Now this talk about taking action or what they call inspired action as it inspired by the divine intelligence.

What is it to take action? Well this is how I’ve come to understand it, when you set a goal you want to manifest. You must take some sort of action to manifest it or else it won’t happen because nothing is done sitting down and doing nothing.

When I say doing nothing it means that when inspiration comes you don’t take action you second-guess yourself. Now what is it going to feel like when you take this action, I have noticed that when you go with the flow and you are in the moment completely focused on that inspiration it’s effortless.

The action is like silk on your skin.

That’s the best way to describe it. It’s so smooth. It’s so easy and there’s no second-guessing you simply do it. Another thing I noticed is that when you’re in the moment taking this action. You are like an observer looking from the outside in. You see yourself doing things, but somehow you’re a different state of consciousness at the time.

It is similar to when you are dreaming.

Now let’s say you are sitting around doing nothing, don’t judge yourself because that’s exactly what you’re supposed to be doing unless you have that inspiration that moves you. That gets you going. That’s when you take action; otherwise just consider this your rest and recuperation stage.

So just enjoy yourself during those stages of rest and recuperation because you just might find yourself a bit busy later on.

Read Carefully...You'll Understand This :)
