Sometimes, completing a manuscript feels like a miracle. Writers love when a book seems to write itself. Inspiration is front and center, the words flow from our imaginations to our fingertips and appear on screen as we typity-type-type away. Then there are books we want to write–have a deep-seated need to tell the story and it’s like scooping out a hole in quicksand. Good thing the Universe has a remedy for this. And it’s so simple, really, when you stop and think about it.
The secret to performing miracles, Silver, lies in:
1. Knowing your desired outcome.
2. Not knowing how you’ll pull it off.
3. Proceeding anyway.When you move, I move –

And that’s how it’s done my friends. Take action, which means butt in chair, hands on keyboard. We got this, right? Write! Sometimes, progress is measured in a few words. Sometimes, in a chapter. As long as we’re taking action, stuff gets done–whether writing or doing anything in life. What action will you take today?
I thought I commented on this yesterday. I think I meant to and then got distracted by life. I’m glad you’re taking action and getting stuffs done with your writing. Go, you! I can’t wait to read your ‘new’ books. You know me and pre-orders, though, so I’ll pick them up when they drop. Yay! It’s nice to finally have funds in the book budget again.
As for taking action myself? I flow whichever way the work takes me – which is often several directions at once – and by the time I’m home, I don’t want to act on anything. I did jump right into making dinner when I got home last night. Parmesan-encrusted pork chops. Yummers.
Good think you can multi-task! Writing and working fulltime is hard! I remember those days. And I don’t miss them. Not. At. All! Hang in there. And if I don’t get my patoot in gear, the next book won ‘t be up for it’s “debut.” Later, tater.
