Just busy. Busy going to a writing conference. Busy finishing up edits. Busy going for long bicycle rides in the beautiful weather we’ve had lately. I’ll be back soon enough now that the Dreaded Querying Process is beginning, but for now, I leave you with this. If you ever needed a motivational pep talk to get started on any endeavor, be it creative or business or maniacal evil, here’s your pep talk.
More interesting update to follow when I’ve got this query and synopsis writing behind me. And yes, I know, I promised to write about endings. I kept holding off because I didn’t quite have the ending of my own novel where it needed to be. But now I do. Next time, I promise!
If you want a sneak peek just imagine I’m saying something about “themes” and “circling back to the beginning” here while waving my hands around.
LOVE that video, thank you.
“Let me think about the people who I care about the most, and how when they fail or disappoint me, I still love them, I still give them chances, and I still see the best in them. Let me extend that generosity to myself.”
A mantra for me if ever I saw one.
He did another one about Finishing that’s really good. He sells a poster with this entire thing printed out on it. I’m framing it and hanging it in my office.
