If you're the kind of professional basketball enthusiast that I am, then I imagine that you go through the length of the regular season of the NBA without watching many games but then intently tune in when the Playoffs start up. It sounds terrible, but that's my experience each year. I simply don't have the … Continue reading Wise Saying #8
I didn't want to make the title of this post too long, so I settled with "Writing Momentum (Part One)". However, if I'd gone with my original, more lengthy title, today's reflection would have been named "Writing Momentum... All the Little Things (Part One)". Week 11 encapsulated all the mini lessons that I've learned over … Continue reading Writing Momentum (Part One)
It's been said that having knowledge is only half the story of one's success and that the other part involves the application of that knowledge. Sound familiar? Well, I believe it was Dale Carnegie who once said that "Knowledge isn't power until it is applied." I would wholeheartedly agree with this statement, which is why … Continue reading Wise Saying #7
My writing journey is chugging right along... full steam ahead. I've completed week 10 and have my sights on all the great things that are going to happen in week 11, as the road to the completion of my written manuscript winds down. My report for week 10 has to start with the not so … Continue reading Writing with Focus
Wow! It's hard to believe that the "Wise Sayings" series is about to wrap up. This realization is definitely confirming the fact that time stands still for no one; and more and more, I'm feeling the effects of a sped-up existence. Everything is rush this and rush that. And, no matter the amount of effort … Continue reading Wise Saying #6
I can't believe that I'm at week 10 already. Can I ask time to slow down a bit? Please? Okay, that was a rhetorical question in which I already know the answer. Time stands still for no man. So, I guess I'd better keep plugging right along with it. Week 9... week 9... what can … Continue reading Outlining and Self-Publishing
The past four Wise Sayings were like epiphanies that floated down to my brain and instantly spoke to a situation I was dealing with at the time or had dealt with in the recent past, resembled a call to action that has been on my mind for some time, or emphasized a better way of … Continue reading Wise Saying #5
You can call me the "Comeback Kid", if you don't mind. I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and came back with a writing vengeance in week 8. As you may recall from my report in last week's post, there was a whole week's writing deficit that I needed to make up in week 8. … Continue reading My Comeback Week
I was initially going to come from a completely different place than what I'm actually presenting to you as Wise Saying #4. But, life happens and I felt compelled to share today's words of wisdom. The following quote came from a home Bible study that my Husband conducted for the family the other day. As … Continue reading Wise Saying #4
I'm going to be really transparent with you today. Week 7 at the DOM Writer's Block was pretty much a dud. I absolutely missed my weekly writing goal by a lot. Reason being? There was an unforeseen antagonist that swooped in from Uninvitedland and forcibly put up some substantial roadblocks that negatively affected my ability … Continue reading Temporary Writing Set-Backs
