Okay, so today I am feeling a little anxiety. I am about to head to the post office to send off some of my short stories to different literary magazines. I just hope they are good enough to publish. I know I still have more to learn, but I am a rusher. I rush everything. I know that if I don't do it right away then I will never do it.
Kevin is being so supportive of this, and it is really sweet. I was doing some research last night and looked up only to see him staring at me. He says that he has never seen me look more happy when I am researching or writing.
Sometimes it becomes quite a challenge trying to do so many things at once. I try to do different writing exercises everyday to keep my creativity flowing, plus I am researching and writing my book, preparing what I am going to write in this blog, and coming up with short stories. Not to mention all the revising I am doing with all my previous work. How do you get it all organized? If there is an experienced writer out there please tell how I can get myself organized into doing things more productively!!!!!!!!!!! I have decided that till I get everything straightened out I will probably wing this blog for a while. I am still unsure of how I should go about posting my work, and how much I should be open about to all of you all about myself. (However, that should be easy to do since my life is basically an open book.)
I am trying to find something to help me relax and think better. Use to Pogo or Myspace helped but anymore when I am on either of them sites my obsessive-compulsive disorder takes over and before I know it I have been on there half the day and most of the night.
Buttercup let me know this morning that no matter how important I think writing is "she" must always come first. I realized this when I was sitting there on my bed doodling some notes to work with and she came over and laid down on them. She wouldn't moved until I brushed her hair. She is such a spoiled dog.
Anyways I guess that is about it for now. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I am so scared of being rejected and this is one of the first times I have ever done this. I hope you all have a nice day and thanks for reading.
P.S. I would love some feed back. Feel free to email me or comment on my work. ~Bye!
