NCWA
I left work early yesterday for the supposed reason that “I had a meeting.” What I failed (intentionally) to mention was that the meeting wasn’t until 7pm and I was leaving at 4. 🙂 Anyways, I felt sneaky and it was fun. Legally I should be leaving at 4 everyday since I get in at 7, but anyways…
The NCWA meeting was nice. Not as rousing as it usually is, but educational as always. There was a panel of authors that made themselves vulnerable to our questioning. So brave.
It’s always encouraging to talk to authors who have ‘been there and done that.’ You know?
Since starting my new job I’ve hardly taken the time to write anything and I can’t help but feel guilty. I have ideas all the time, but I just can’t seem to find the energy to get them out. I need to be more disciplined and that’s the revelation I came to after the meeting last night.
I know that writing requires inspiration and discipline. Most often, one follows the other and since I don’t feel any inspiration, I guess I have to exercise discipline for now.
I talked with my friend Crystal last night and she mentioned that she and her friend are doing a column for an up and coming women’s e-zine. She said they still had space for one more column and so I might be able to do that ethics editorial that I’ve always wanted to do. *praying really hard ‘Please God’*
It would be so much fun!
Anyways, I’m hoping that once I get settled into this season of life I’ll be inspired once again.
*SIDE NOTE= My writer’s group has sort of fallen apart. (Do to the fact that most of them are out of state and unable to meet regularly.) If there’s anyone out there that would be interested in meeting for fun every other week or so for fun writing times…please let me know!
