Ever since writing my latest piece, I've really lost the desire to produce.
Maybe that's not so. I want to produce, I just couldn't bring myself around to tapping on the keyboard to make it happen.
I was going to let another day go by where I just fixed things from the past books to make them better, figuring that is at least something. But it makes me feel like I'm being lazy, probably because I am being lazy.
So, I forced myself to write. I didn't have a goal in mind, even though I try to get 2k in a day. I just was afraid I lost the story Just Friends because I got side tracked by one project and am eager to start about 3 more projects.
But I opened the file and started. It was slow at first. The words didn't flow like usual. I had to get my bearing. But I started to write. New words on a new page. Something about that is liberating.
There were distractions. Old friends and new friends on facebook. I have become a commodity to some. I have a whole new network of people who want to be my friend and care about me. I found an illustrator for the children's book (Thank you, Jesus). I gave some spiritual advice (is God giving me a ministry?) I talked to a fellow author that produced non-tg books.
But in the end I wrote 2000 words tonight on Just friends and feel like I'm regaining direction. I do want to be successful, I just think I defined success the wrong way. Now on to being productive and to build up others.
Thanks for all the concern and prayer. I am feeling better and am in a better mood.

I know how you feel Katie
With all I've been going through the past several weeks I've been having a tough time producing anything as well but it's not what we produce that's important it's how we feel about what we are doing and the direction we're taking. Hopefully we'll both be properly back in the saddle soon.
Don't take me too seriously. I'm just kitten around. :3
Glad to hear from you, Katie.
I Believe that you do have a Ministry, ask God to help you discover what it is.
May Your Light Forever Shine
big hugs, Katie
I hope you can finish Just friends
very glad...
