It's been a while since I posted anything here. But I needed to take a moment and celebrate a milestone. I've been working on my book for a few years now. Last night I reached a milestone. I've made it to the halfway point in the completion of my first book.
I learned that this is a marathon not a sprint. I know because I tried sprinting and I never found a finish line. I tried to force it, finagle it, flim flam it and rush it. Nothing doing. The magic won't be rushed. The magic won't be bullied. I've found that magic happens when you show up, when you bring your brain to the party and give it over to the dilemma. The magic is hidden in the puzzle. The magic is at the center of the labyrinth. You will make wrong turns. You will double back. You will get lost, then found, then lost again on this journey. Whatever you do, don't stop. Please. Don't. Stop.
