Today I Get to Write Yet Another Page In the Story of My Life
Will this one put them to sleep or enthrall them — that’s all up to me
I have to admit — the last few chapters have been quite a bore. Recently, I've been in a funk.
A few interesting pages here and there. But nothing to sustain a reader’s interest.
The thing is that I have only so many pages that I‘ll have the privilege of writing.
Each day I get to write another chapter, each moment I get to pen another word is a gift — one that I take for granted.
Anyhow, today is a new day. I’m determined to make it a good one.
A day that I will write a story that will engage the reader. One that will be a positive one. Provide a good model.
What does that translate to?
I am NOT going to reside within my own head. It’s such a limiting space. I will be open and out there.
I’m going to allow myself to feel whatever feelings come up without engaging in any of my collection of escapist behaviors — most common being playing Words with Friends on my cell, or eating Oreo cookies any time any feeling comes up that is even remotely unpleasant.
