Today We had rain, not much but some, watching from the terrace as it fell lightly, inspired me to begin to organise all the papers. I managed to throw some thoughts away, whilst other random thoughts I place in a file. I felt at last I had achieved something, having placed the book all in one pile I saw immediately that I was not happy with some and revisions were needed. I hope it rains tomorrow, and the next day.
I had promised myself 4 solid hours pulling together the book that I am working on at this moment. No TV, no music, only the babbling sound of the Buddah water fountain and the sweet smell of incense...Sounds good? Well it was, until the telephone rang some twenty minutes later.It was a friend who "was on her way to visit me!" without invitation.Why can´t I learn to say no, in fact why can´t I scream and shake my hands in the air and shout NO! I could, but I never seem able to.
On arrival and seeing the paper everywhere she uttered"oh, are you writing?" "Yes" I said throught gritted teeth. As she pulled a bottle of red wine out of her bag she promised not to stay long. My heart sunk, and I am sorry to say, I never got to write, clear my thoughts, make notes or anything I had promised myself to do. Seet FA.
So Dr House, whats your opinion on why I can´t say No?.
Not a good start, but let me explain, I am a prolific writer, I always have a small notebook in my bag to record thoughts that enter my head. I have three novels sitting on the shelf, one finished, the other short of the ultimate chapters, but I lost the feeling for it...so it was shelved!!the third was for children but its way too long and needs shortening and awaiting the completed illustrations. I have another on disc in progress, set in the late 60´s and one finished but needs editing on Spirituality..yep I know what your thinking evrything so different, but I am happy with the spiritual one.Where I write the floor, the shelves, the desk and the bin are full of scribbles. My computer is full of ramblings and illustrations, and i have loads of notebooks bursting with lines.
Most of all I have a heart full of words. ......but I need order!
My idea is that maybe using this blog to revise my progress and share my failings will help me to get order. So if anone reads this blog thanks for reading, and I value your comments
