Seeing Possibilities in Life
Listening to: Miranda Lambert, Famous in a Small Town
Reading: The Perfect Poison by Amanda Quick
I just finished revising chapter 26 of my current WIP–Shake the Sugar Tree. I’m jumping in my seat because all of a sudden I can see the end of the tunnel and it’s not this tiny dot of light in the distance. There are possibilities in writing…
It’s a journey of possibilities for me. I wake up every morning and see the possibility of success, of failure, of laughter and of death.
I know it’s easy to get caught up in the practical side of things. The how-tos. [Been there!!!] My challenge for all my writer friends is to remember the possibilities. Remember the what ifs, the fun of creating a story. Even through revisions, keep your eye on that satisfying ending because getting there is most of the fun.
You’ve been a huge encouragement to me…and I’m getting all teary just thinking about bringing this story to a close.
Love,
Bethanne

I really like STST, btw.
It’s been a privilege critting it. (C25 is sitting here, waiting for me to get stuck in.)
I swear that dot of light at the end of the tunnel is usually the front of an oncoming train, for me lol.
I find second drafts much, much harder than the first, so congrats to you for getting through the toughy! Silke(Quote) (Reply)
Awesome! Congrats!! Jennifer(Quote) (Reply)
You are so right. You need to see all the possibilites a story can be, every chapter is a new adventure. I love the beginning stages of writing the story – but – nothing compares to the end! Thanks for reminding me to see all the possibilities in every stage of the story!
