Make Mine
Mystery

I’ve been
having a difficult time writing lately, possibly why I missed writing this post
yesterday.
What I’ve discovered is that my mind has been wondering, or I’m
bored, or depressed, or way to busy to write. What I’m lacking is being
present. The ‘being’ in the moment. I’ve been so concerned over results, that
I’m stuck.
I know how
important it is to stay in the present, when I ride my horses, I know if I
break my concentration, look at a car passing, another horse, I may fall, get
hurt, or get my horse injured.
As a writer,
if I’m not present, I am unproductive. My mind wanders, and I end up thinking
instead of writing. I worry that my novel won’t be good enough, I worry about
the ‘reviews’ instead of enjoying the process of writing.
If I’m at a
book signing, ignore what people are saying or asking, I lose that opportunity
to connect with another person. Which is a great opportunity, and yet, I worry
about it.
