How to Make Your Dreams Come True

"Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom." Jeannette Winterson

or...as Nora Roberts would say, "Get off your duff and do it!"

Life's Little Adjustments

The above title is where/how this blog started. Maybe I should return to that concept, though writing is a big part of my life and feeling of contentment.
That is an area, though, where adjustments have to be made. With a tenfold increase in the competition, I had to decide whether I loved the writing as an end to itself. The answer is a resounding YES! I love imagining the settings, creating each character and his/her background, plotting the story, and how the characters will interact. I guess that's what we all have to decide when we choose how to spend our time. If we never received a dime for our efforts, is it still worthwhile?

Who Sets Your Priorities?

Let's go with the premise that we have only one life to live. Do you let others make their priorities yours? It took me a LONG time to learn that if I can't decide what's important to me, then I'm not really living. I'm existing in someone else's life and dreams. Mine get lost in the dust. You have a right to say no, and you have a right to say "this is how I'm going to spend my time, thank you very much." Then, when the day is done, you'll have no regrets.

New York or CreateSpace?

I'm at a crossroads. Do I take the couple of years to query agents and editors, or do I take an hour and publish on CreateSpace? Still thinking...
All the social media has to be connected, website, Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
New content should be posted often. When does the writer have time to write?
So many questions to ask yourself when you're at this point. There isn't a wrong answer.
