Put Down Everything

"Sit down, and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it." - Colette, novelist

This is a very appropriate quote for my life right now. Last year I got the idea to write a blog. I wasn't sure what kind of blog I was going to produce but I felt drawn to write one. So, I found "blogger.com" through Google and my new journey began. I've been posting on a daily basis since last October and each day it gets a little bit easier and the words come to me a little bit faster than they did last year.

But, the funny part for me is that I am constantly changing these entries up until the last minute. I read them over and over again and I am ALWAYS changing something each time! So, according to the quote, I must be an author! Trust me, I destroy most of the original writings by the time I'm done and that's just for this blog. Can you imagine what I would do if I started writing my own book?

Actually, I have a confession to make. I'm thinking about doing just that. Writing a book is something that I've dreamed about doing for awhile now. Up until recently I didn't really believe in that dream. I'm starting to change my mind. I will say here and now that I'm going to begin putting together an outline this year for a book about something! I'm not sure what direction I'll go in with this book but once I begin, there will be no turning back! As I did with my blog, I'm going to let Spirit guide me and it will turn out exactly as it should.

Thank you to all of my friends who are so kind and encouraging. You're encouragement has led me to this place in my life. I couldn't do any of this without you. Happy Friday to all!
