It’s currently two in the morning, and my mind is swirling with all the different worlds and new characters that are entering those worlds, and familiar characters that are re-inserting themselves into their worlds, and it has me excited and anxious at the same time.
I’m blessed that I have all of these different stories still swirling around in my head, but what comes with all of those different stories is the fact that sometimes, there simply isn’t enough time to write them all. In a perfect world, I would do nothing but flesh all of these stories out and prep them for public consumption, but let’s face it, it isn’t a perfect world (although a lottery jackpot would make things a hell of a lot easier to do LOL)
I try to take the time to write on a daily basis, using music to fuel my writing binges. What I have always loved is that I can lose myself in my world for hours at a time as long as I have the soundtrack of what that world would be playing in my ears. Funny how that works, huh?
Tonight, however, I’m indulging in the darkness and quietude, because I’m not plotting and planning the next story that I hope my readers will enjoy. I needed to simply get my thoughts down on paper so I can try and rest a bit. Writing has to get done tomorrow, and the next day, and so on. Passion keeps things lit and fiery; consistency and discipline give passion the ability to continue to flourish and spread.
God willing, those two things will continue to be with me until I am no longer on this planet.
I know you’re used to me being a bit long-winded, but tonight, that won’t happen, but I thank you for coming through and indulging me nonetheless. Good night. Happy Sunday, and I’ll talk to you soon.
